Today I am tasting a Pinot Grigio box wine. This wine is from Vendange Wine Cellars, in Lathrop and Lodi in California. I purchased this wine late night at a Sheetz for around $4 in a 500ML tetra pack. I was unable to find a vintage for this wine, its possibly made from a blend of different vintages as to ensure a consistent taste from year to year, but I'm not too sure.
First, I smelled the wine, it had aromas of apple and pear, with some hints of apricot. Next, during the tasting, I noticed a crisp bite, with a strong green apple flavor. There was also a less pronounced pear flavor. This wine was also quite acidic, and also pretty sweet. The body was very light, with a very smooth and almost watery mouthfeel. For a cheap gas station box wine, I would say it's quite good, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again if I needed a predictable tasting wine at an affordable price.
