Ogio Pinot Grigio (2009)
$8 at the LCBO
Who would have thought you can get a bottle of wine from Italy for under $10? It seems like you can’t even send a greeting card to Europe for that amount, but the Ogio Pinot Grigio proves that mediocre wine can come in cheap packages! The wine boasts fresh lime, lemon, and orange flavours, and pairs nicely with fish or salad.
It has a very light body, and the lemon tones are very evident, overpowering any other flavours or aromas. As a whole, this wine is fresh and vibrant, but disappointing if you are not a fan of the lemony fresh tones normally associated with cleaning ingredients. The best part of this wine is that it looks expensive: with an Italian origin and a gorgeous bottle, it’s a great wine to bring to a party, or on a visit to your partner’s parents’ place for a fancy dinner.
