$4 Glen Ellen
2009 Pinot Grigio
California
Stater Bros.

This particular bottle boasts "Proprieter's Reserve" and the name "Concannon Vineyard" which doesn't mean much to me unless the wine delivers. Okay, onto the tasting. To start off, the nose is very bland. The small amount of fruitiness I detect is somewhat over ripe. The first sip brings me absolutely nothing. The second sip I really swish around and have to dig for it, but there are a bit of unripe citrus and some pineapple notes. Overall, a really terrible wine. I would recommend if you already have a bottle of it, make some sangria with it or cook with it.

I give this wine 1 star out of 5
