Kris, Pinot Grigio, Two Thousand Ten



White or Red: White
Grape(s): Pinot Grigio
Origin: Italy
Vintage: 2010
Price: 10 measly bucks

Overall:
It's been awhile but with the holiday looming I wasn't going to leave you hanging.  Took the wifey out for a meal and we were directed by the waiter to buy Kris.  Surprisingly, it was one of the cheaper bottles on the menu so I confided that it would be decent (why would the waiter lie?).  So I did the math and divided by two and quickly realized that this one was in the Semi-Pro range.  Went to my spot in NJ and got it for $9.99.

My notes suggest that this is light, well-balanced and a very easy drinker.  Perfect for that hot indoor/outdoor night with friends- it also matches perfectly with any seafood.  I get this delicious, citrusy lime vibe but with the notion it has run down an Italian mountain passing through greatness with a small detour through a mineral rock bed.  Yet, the finish challenges the former because there is subtle creaminess that makes this baby hum like a choir on Christmas Eve during communion. 

Serve cold.
