Opened 2 bottles of pinot grigio last night over dinner with company, None of us could get it down. It was the worst pinot I have ever had. Needless to say I was Quite embarassed. I have had vinegar with less bite and bitterness.

I had trouble getting corks out of wine bottles because I was always afraid of turning the corkscrew too far into the cork. Once I got over that and started driving the corkscrew in deeper I found the corks much easier to get out. (I also got the kind of corkscrew with the levers on the side that bring the cork up as you push down on the levers.)

Well, i am a new wine drinker and not a big spender. So yellow tail was one of the first things i was drawn to. The red is not good to me…The bite is too much. and Even tho i am a NEW wine drinker….I can tell I would never buy the red again….its gross…but drinkable……(sn) for someone odd reason it makes me sleepy…whats up with that??? lol…

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!
