White Truck 2007 Pinot Grigio
Tonight’s wine was White Truck, a 2007 Pinot Grigio from Napa. My uncle brought a bottle of Red Truck’s California Red to Christmas dinner, and I was pretty impressed. I cooked a shrimp recipe that called for a bit of white wine, and decided to give White Truck a try.
After the first sip, Ben’s response was “boring.” With the meal, it did taste a bit better. It had everything a Pinot Grigio should have–citrusy without being overwhelming, a bit of a thickness without being strong. Everything was there–just not enough of it.
At $9.99, this is an inexpensive bottle–but not quite cheap enough to make it worth it. Not a bad introduction to Pinot Grigios, but if you’re looking for something interesting, look elsewhere.
The bottom line: Try Campanile’s Pinot Grigio instead.
Very interesting blog. I will expect to learn the perfect wine for any occasion from reading. Keep up the good blogging-
