Roll your eyes, judge away; I've tried it and it ain't half bad.
Aside from the fact that the design is eager to reach out to the Target brand generation of cute and simple and also aside from the fact that they call it a Pinot Grigio but it tastes like a blend between Sauvignon Blanc and Muscat- it's quite enjoyable!
As it plainly states on the box, it's fruitiness is nice and so is it's lightness. Nothing complex, just a cute blond with pretty eyes. Goes well with dinner, dessert and on it's sweet little own.
The one moment I paused and judged myself was during the set up of the box itself. I had to push a hole into the side of the cardboard box, pull an upper lip down, reach in with fumbling fingers to pull the spout section of the wine "bag" out. It felt like a desperate attempt at setting up a home-made wine keg. Handstands not included.
On the other hand it was a perfectly balanced sweet white wine that does not disappoint.
And before you begin to consider me a redneck, know this: they were selling like hot cakes at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine event at Fort Mason two weeks ago. The temporary traveling mecca of wine snobs picked it like candy out of a full-to-the-brim barrel.
In a world of seriousness, its nice to take things lightly on occasion.
