2) ME: 
THE WINE: I tried a glass of Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio, made with the Pinot Gris grape, at the Kroger Bar on Main Street. The bottle costs $14 and the wine comes from Toscana, Italy with a vintage year of 2023.
CRITIC REVIEW: A review of the wine can be found on Wine Enthusiast, written by Danielle Callegari (Review) who gave the wine a score of 88.
MY REVIEW: The glass of Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio I had was probably 1 out of 10 glasses of white wine I have ever had. I have always preferred a glass of red wine over white, but I can say my opinion has changed after trying a glass of San Angelo Pinot Grigio. The wine has a good citrus tart followed a hint of sweetness (Wine Folly 149 "styles from dry - sweet"). The legs of the wine were quite faint which attributes to my note on the viscosity of the wine. The wine went "down like water", not in how quickly I drank it, but the feeling in my mouth and the viscosity of the wine when taking sips. Following a swirl and sniff test, I scented crushed green grape with a squirt of lemon/lime (Wine Folly 149 "Lemon Zest"). I find that the smell I experienced differed only in the order of events when compared to my tasting. I tasted tart then sweet and I smelled sweet then tart. After drinking the glass of Banfi San Angelo Pinot Grigio, I am eager to try more white wines and widen my taste from red and merlot to even greater varieties!
