It's widely regarded as the best pinot grigio (or pinot gris) and costs nearly twice as much as any other pinot grigio, but a bottle is still only about $30. How is their pinot grigio 50% better than any other pinot grigio and what does it say about grape itself when it's best, most expensive wine is $30? Marketing and crap are the answers.
Anyway, Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is prob my favorite white (they have it at Bond. St. - http://bondstrestaurant.com/drink.php). Can't think of my favorite red at the moment. |
I am not really a pinot, my girl drinks it. But some times with dinner, if I am making fish of some sort. I like it. There are other good ones under that price range. You can find SM in Brooklyn for about 19 bucks a bottle. So its really not that bad 30 i would not spend.
When I do drink wine it is typically the summer, and it is usually rose. Domaines Ott is always the choice. There are a few other good ones that are cheaper. But I always keep stock of DO in my fridge.
Tignanello with a steak is ridiculous.
