Tasting: Chloe Pinot Grigio

 Chloe's Pinot Grigio


Name: Chloe Pinot Grigio           


Variety: Pinot Grigio


Country: Italy


Region: Valdadige D.O.C.


Vintage Year: 2019


Price: $12.99







Critic Review: "White peach and Meyer lemon, hint of mushroom, lime and stone. Light, value, good to keep on hand. Nothing controversial. Nice and relaxing." - Amy Hodge on Vivino

Wine Folly: According to Wine Folly, I am expected to taste white peach, zesty lemon, cantalope, raw almond, or crushed gravel. However, I was unable to taste these flavors except for a hint of lemon. The dryness of this wine matches the medium dryness of the dryness scale of Wine Folly. 

My Review: I did not like Chloe's Pinot Grigio. It tasted watered down and was close to flavorless. The wine reminded me of alcohol mixed with water. There were slight hints of fruit, but not enough to add notable flavors or scents. I would not purchase this again.

Essenza Di Vita's Pinot Grigio Name: Essenza Di Vita Pinot Grigio  Variety:  Pinot Grigio            Country: Italy Region:  Delle Venezie  Vintage Year:  2019 Price:  $7.99 Critic Review: " Tropical nose of unripened guava and green mango. Grapefruit tongue with an aftertaste of grass. Surprisingly complex." - Michael Bertino on Vivono  Wine Folly:   According to Wine Folly, expected fruit flavors of Pinot Grigio are white peach, lemon zest, and  cantalope. Essenza Di Vita's Pinot Grigio tastes like a lemon zest explosion. There was also a hint of white peach, but the citrus flavor of the wine took dominated. The wine had a lighter body and high acidity.  My Review:   I enjoyed Essenza Di Vita's Pinot Grigio. I detected floral aromas after swirling and found that it was a little sweeter than typical Pinots. This Pinot Grigio was a little more acidic than I prefer, but I still enjoyed the flavor, ...

  Giretto's Pinot Grigio Name: Giretto Pinot Grigio        Variety :   Pinot Grigio Country:  Italy Region : Delle Venezie Vintage Year: 2019 Price : $5.49 Critic Review : "Taking a sip reveals surprising depth of flavor with tons of green apple, lime and touches of tropical fruit in this tart and tasty wine. And while there’s plenty of sweet tasting fruit, it’s a fairly dry wine which isn’t always common with Pinot Grigio at this low of a price point." - Jon Thorsen on Reverse Wine Snob Wine Folly:  I immediately tasted a zesty lemon flavor and a hint a cantalope. I did not taste crushed gravel or raw almond at all.  My Review:  This is the second pinot grigio I have ever had, but it tasted watered down. I had to put in a lot of effort to try to find the flavors of this wine. Giretto's Pinot Grigio was slightly dry to me and tasted very light. Although it comes with a great price, I wouldn't purchase this again      ...

Tasting: Artie Pinot Grigio

  Artie Pinot Grigio Name: Artie Pinot Grigio                          Variety:  Pinot Grigio Country:  Italy Region:  N/A Vintage Year:  Nonvintage Price:  $7.99 Critic Review: " Fruity but only in the sense that the 'fruity' taste absolutely blends itself in with the expected profile of a Pinot Gris. Not overly acidic, if at all. One criticism I’d have, if I were pushed to make a criticism, is that it’s a bit weak in overall profile."  - Nick Chudolij on Vivino  Wine Folly:  Pinot Grigio is characterized by flavors of white peach, lemon zest, cantalope, crushed gravel, and raw almond. I tasted lemon adn a hint of raw almond upon my first sip of Artie's Pinot Grigio. The wine was dry with a medium to light body with a medium acidity. Wine Folly recommended pairing Pinot Grigio with seafood, so I drank this wine with fish tacos I made at home. The wine and tacos balanc...
