Apples to Apples

For those of you who know me well, you know that I'm not the biggest fan of white wines. However, I am trying more and more whites so I can give you a well rounded approach to the world of wine. Today, I have two great white wines to share with you. Both of them are under $11!

$9.99 - Voga: Pinot Grigio (2010). This Pinot Grigio comes from Northern Italy, and has a cool/modern looking bottle. What I loved about this wine was its crispness. It has a green apple smell with a hint of black pepper. And, when you drink it, it tastes as if you are drinking a sour green apple. Green apples happen to be my favorite out of the bunch, so this wine was perfect for me. It packs a powerful punch, and you will also get side notes of lemon with each sip. It is slightly bitter and bitey in the back, but it is a welcomed surprise. Keep this wine chilled to get the bite. As the wine warms up, it loses it's spice, and will mellow down.

$10.95 - Domas Skouras: Roditis Blend (2010). This wine originated in Greece, and the Roditis grape tastes much like a rosé. But, with the blend, this wine is very much a white wine. (To learn more about the winery click here: http://www.skouras.gr/domaine.asp). Unlike the green apple smells of the Voga wine, this wine smells of a rich red apple with a touch of pineapple. It has a very smooth and palatable taste. Instead of a punchy green apple, you get a creamy taste of red apple mixed with tropical fruit. For those of you who like the more traditional tasting wines, this one will be perfect for you. The price is also very nice on the wallet.
