Casal Thaulero Pinot Grigio 2011, Osco Igp Molise
Italy$8.95
Wow. Maybe I just don't get what Grigio's are supposed to taste like, but I had to put water in this just to be able to choke it down. The alcohol is not balanced by the flavour, making it reminiscent of mouthwash or paint thinner. I far prefer the similarly-priced Pinot Grigio's from Argentina. 75 (Average) is the lowest rating available, but I'd put it at about 45. Tasted the 2012 vintage, November 2013.

Beringer California Collection Cabernet Sauvginon 2010
California, Usa$10.95
Maybe I got a bad bottle, but this had a weird skunky taste that made it pretty much undrinkable. I couldn't even kill the taste by mixing in cranberry juice. Yuk!!!

Fonseca Periquita 2010, Terras Do Sado
Portugal$8.95
I find this wine to be a good staple for evening meals. It has good body, reasonable flavour, and never tastes bad to me (unlike the similarly priced Grao Vasco, which sometimes seems a bit harsh). I'm not a sophisticated taster, and have found that tasting is very subjective. Rather than do one-off tastings, I rely instead on trying a wine several times to see if it continues to taste good under a variety of circumstances, and so far, this one does. 2012 vintage, Nov. 2013.

Concilio Pinot Noir Vigneti Delle Dolomiti Igt 2008, Trentino
Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy$11.95
Tastes like very thin, watery grape juice. Way too sweet. Will never buy again.
