This is the Beringer Main and Vine white wine. It is a pinot grigio/pinot gris from California, USA, with the label stating the South Eastern Australia region. The vintage is 2021, and the price was $6.99.
There are very differing reviews online about this wine. Some say that it is straight nasty: "the worst pinot grigio ever", "buy at your own risk". Others, however, say that it has a lovely, light taste with hints of citrus and peach. Most agree that for the price it is sold at, it is a good wine.
Personally, I greatly disliked this wine. It had a sort of nutty, almost vanilla smell, with some lemon. It was very bitter, and slightly burned my throat and nose going down. It was extremely dry, and although some said that it was light, and you could taste the lemon and peach flavors, I could not. I did not feel as though it had a whole lot of flavor whatsoever. I honestly would not get this ever again, even for the price.
Wine Folly discusses the dry pinot grigios as a fruit-driven variety, with flavors of lemon, yellow apple, and white peach. It talks about how they have very fruity aromas, with a "less intense acidity and more of an oily textured mouthfeel". I did not pick up on the any fruity aroma besides the hint of lemon. I can almost understand the oily mouthfeel, however I felt that the acidity was still quite high.
I did not have this wine with food.
