Sadly, I will be discontinuing Cavit Pinot Grigio in the store. The 2009 is not typical and the staff at the store and myself were not happy. I have been tasting tons of Grigios and the winner was picked by my bridge group, cards, not river crossings. Another big company, but the quality made this an easy pick.
The Mezzacorona Pinot Grigio will be the new quality-price Pinot Grigio in the store. It was rich and smooth and tasty and reasonably priced. $13.99 for a 1.5 liter bottle and the regular sized bottle 750ml. will be priced $9.99, 2 bottles for $18.00. An honest bottle of wine. Oh, wait, Lincoln's birthday was in February. My bad.

Reverse
Til now the posts have been about new arrival wines. This is a reverse.
One of the biggest selling magnum bottles of wine in the store is Cavit Pinot Grigio. It has been a big selling staple in the store for years. We buy it 100 cases at a time to keep the price competitive. I was down to my last 20 cases and put my order in for the next batch of 100. UNTIL
A very good customer with a very good palate had a glass of the new vintage, 2009, and found it to be very different. Think of you order a Coke at a fast food joint and you get iced coffee, black no sugar. Still a nice beverage but not what you expected.
The 2009 Cavit Pinot Grigio is very different. If you like the 2008 and before, you will be surprised. I have a dozen or so cases of the 2008. I will not be buying the 2009. Salesmen are bringing in new samples daily. I will find another good magnum of affordable Pinot Grigio.
