Winery review: The Journey & Discovery Pinot Grigio is light, dry, crisp, and endlessly refreshing. And it was made to be paired with your favorite seafood dish. Elegant aromas of apple, lemon, and peach are followed by a touch of minerality that showcases the complex terroir of Rubicone, Italy (https://www.journeyanddiscovery.com/pinot-grigio).
Wine Folly: Pinot Grigio (pinot gris) are high in acidity, don't need to be decanted, and should be served cold. The main flavors are white peach, lemon zest, cantaloupe, raw almond, and crushed gravel. They can range in sweetness and pair well with white meats, seafood, and fruity food (pg 149).
My review: This Pinot Grigio has a light, refreshing scent that’s slightly acidic. Some citrus shines through with peach. The first sip is, as promised by the smell, refreshing. With the first sip, it coats your mouth with acidity and is hard to place flavors. The second sip brings out deeper flavors. The apple is the strongest, with lemon and grapefruit bringing up the rear. I’m not a fan of this wine. It’s too acidic and sour for me. Don’t worry, it won’t be wasted; sunk cost fallacy is strong when it comes to wine.
