SuppliedBlack Label Pinot Grigio
$9.99
Liquor Depot
After studying for several hours at the local coffee shop and not wanting to leave out of pure laziness, I desperately asked the charming barista if they sold wine and to my pleasant surprise they did! I asked for their fanciest yet cheapest wine, the barista suggested the “Black Label” Pinot Grigio, which looked and sounded sophisticated. Naturally, I judged the book by the cover and was not disappointed.
The wine pours a pale golden color, eerily similar to tainted water. However, the light notes of apple on the nose and hints of tropical fruit on the palate make up for the off-putting color. The lightly fruity flavor tickles the end of your tongue with every sip and the after taste of pear leaves your palette wanting more.
Black Label Pinot Grigio is easy to drink and pleasantly not too sweet, so there is no feeling of instant headache. While you may argue that all wine is just grown up grape juice, this is good grown up grape juice! For $9.99 there are no subtle notes of nail polish remover and the wine goes down smooth. What else can you ask for? Sure, this wine might be the embodiment of a 47-year-old alcoholic mom, but at least she’s the fun one flirting with Mrs. Waldorf’s ex husband during wine night. To be warned, this wine does bring out the real gossip girl in you. I feel posh drinking this.
