Yellow Tail Pinot Grigio 2009 11.9% alcohol about $10

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. Tasting Note : Pale straw color; aromas of stone fruit, citrus and pear; dry, medium bodied, with crisp acidity, and delicate flavors of fresh apple, herb and nut. Serving

The bottle cap was an accident waiting to happen. After cutting it open, I had to flatten the sharp edges. At the first sips this Pinot Grigio had pleasant acidity. The pear taste hit me but it was fairly short. My first meal started with broccoli pancakes that included potatoes, onion, and oat bran. The wine provided a combination of pears and green apples. With a commercial chicken finger type preparation the apples became greener. The Louisiana pepper sauce increased the wine’s acidity.
