Bolla Pinot Grigio (2005)

I have no idea why Pinot Gris is so popular right now. This bottle certainly didn't help answer that question. Good thing it was only USD 7.99 at Lakeridge Liquors in St. Paul, MN.

The nose made me quite optimistic as it had a lovely, strong honeydew note. Everything after that was just disappointing. The body was not particularly high in acid, but it was harsh for whatever reason. The body was also just plain thin and uninteresting. One could detect a bit of honeydew, but it was difficult to tell if it was coming from the body or still from the nose. The finish was not altogether horrible, it was medium with lime and citrus.

My companion thought he could smell and/or taste some free sulfites also. This is bad.
