I don’t have much experience with wine; I’ve probably tried only 10 differing pinot grigios. But this was either the worst or second to worst. It didn’t completely have that smooth, oily texture that a good pinot has. And it had a kind of metallic aftertaste. Any overly-positive review for this wine is simply sophomoric. For a decent, cheap pinot, try Fish Eye. Still not the greatest, but a good value, and definitely better than the Yellow Tail IMO

I reviewed this on my UK site also, looks like it is popular all over the world. I love the stuff, I could bath in it. (My wife says I already do)

I agree with Jon. I am a releatively new wine drinker but still – this tastes like Welch’s grape with a very slight bite. I mean, I wouldn’t refuse one on a hot summer day on the rocks, but to drink it as a wine is meant to be? No thanks.

guys, for christ’s sake yellow tail is juice- in a glass. and bad juice at that. try leaving it sitting in your glass for 1/2 hour and it smells like nothing !

yellow tail is a marketing scheme to get young drinkers who dont know good wines to drink a sucrose-full combination of sweet grapes and preservatives. NOT A GOOD WINE. Cheap and disgusting.

Get some good wines: Napa Valley or Washington State or Oregon wines.

I love cheap wine – but I don’t understnad the draw of Yellow Tail. It is way overpriced “Critter Wine” – the reds have a horrible bite and the whites are just blah. There are far better wines out there – albeit with less effective marketing.

I prefer the Chardonnay especially after a tough Thursday with the morning call abuse from Rich G!!!

Awsome! This was the best Pinot Grigio I have tasted in years!! My prior favorite was elk cove pinot gris, but this is clearly the winner!

Thanks Yellow Tail, another great wine!

This is one of my very favorite wines! Not dry…goes well with anything or nothing! We sip it on ice by the pool on those hot summer days!

Is this a sweet wine or dry?? I had a yellow tail wine at a restaurant but thought they said it was a zinfandel. How does this compare??

Amy: I’ve come up with a good system, I have step by step pictures if you need them:

Required: 1 bottle Yellow Tail, 1 Screwdriver, 1 pair combo pliers, 1 wine glass. Optional: Broom, Dustpan. Step 1: drive screwdriver between cork and bottle until you hear a crack. Step 2: Remove label on neck of bottle and carefully set glass aside. Step 3: Use combo pliers to remove cork, pour, and enjoy. You will probably have to finish the wine the same night as the broken glass makes replacing the cork nearly impossible.
