This wine is from Moldova, which I hadn't even heard of before, but they were kind enough to include a map on the label showing that it's on the Black Sea, and is possibly a former Soviet republic.
The wine itself is described on the label as crisp and dry, but it also has a sort of warm tartness to it, which is kind of a strange thing to say but is the best way I can describe the taste. The colour of the bottle makes the wine appear slightly greenish, like certain Sauvignon Blancs, but in the glass it is a warmer yellow, which is a more appropriate colour for a Pinot Grigio. I think this wine could stand up nicely to food containing onions, and I intend to test it out on Thanksgiving stuffing as soon as I have some on hand.
