I know a lot of great wines. But you wouldn't have heard of them. My job at a wine store means that I taste a lot of obscure wines. This blog is a record of my better finds in the $10 to $20 range. If you have any questions please drop me an email at stiebelben@gmail.com. I always love to talk wine.

Casa d'Orsini Pinot Grigio NV (about $10)
About the Wine: Pinot Grigio is normally grown in the more northerly reaches of Italy. A southern Pinot Grigio promises a hotter growing season and perhaps a sweeter wine. The importer assured me that this is a 2011 but neither of us could find it on the bottle.
About THIS Wine: The wine is straw colored in the glass. Pine wood is prominent of the nose and soft citrus defines the palate. Light acidity is present on the finish.
Drinking This Wine: Being less sharp and acidic than most Pinot Grigios this one could work as a sipping wine. It would also go well with white fish.
Overall Impression: This is not a bad bottle of wine and it is dirt cheap. This one is good for the price.
