Mirassou 2008 Pinot Grigio

Mirassou 2008 Pinot Grigio
This Pinot Grigio was purchased for the “1 cup of dry white wine” needed to boil some shrimp for $7.99 at Costco. It was the cheapest non-Chardonnay they had and was rated 90 points by someone who knows more about wine than I. The Mirassou was certainly better the second night as the overly-lemon bite had settled down and the peach came out more. It’s sweet and makes for a good sipping wine without food.

On the first night, I would have rated this at 4, at best, and on night two will raise it 2 points for a 6/10. Good buy for the price…just let it breathe a while. Didn’t know one needed to let whites breathe, but the proof is in the pudding…er, Pinot.
