Name: Mommy’s Time Out 2008 Garganega PINOT GRIGIO
Alcohol content: 11.5%
Price: $6.99
Description per label: We all know that being a Mommy is a difficult job. A Mommy’s Time Out is a well-deserved break. This wine is delicate and fruity.
Review: Any time a wine implicitly or explicitly encourages the shirking of parental duties my sommelier senses draw me in like a zombie to brains. By now I’m sure you’ve noticed the eerie similarity between the two. Case in point? The toddler-toting mom’s gait and the night of the living dead shuffle. Or how about that thousand mile stare and disheveled appearance of any new parent? When I dragged across this Italian blend, packing my own dual toddlers, I was sold by the name alone. Upon sampling, my expectations of mediocrity were confirmed. The aroma was sweet and fruity and the taste watered down. The finish of this varietal, although lasting, was acidic and lackluster. Always bare in mind that with all gimmicky products at low prices you should never set the bar too high. This axiom also applies to most celebrity vinted blends. My primary knock is that the alcohol content is an impotent 11.5%. On the SMS rating scale (1-10) I rate this a mediocre 4.
Suggested pairings: Bunco, Book Clubs, Baby Showers, and Bitching and Moaning.
