It has been a long time since I posted a wine review. Not because I have stopped drinking wine, I just haven’t been drinking it as frequently and putting as much energy into discovering new ones. In the past few months I have been on a kick to try something different, as I seem to be slightly burnt out on the drinking the same old stuff time after time. I have kind of come up with a plan and have begun trying wines with interesting names. The more comical the name, the more likely I am to try it.

On a particular stress shopping trip that involved the neighbor, her 3 y/o son and my 2 boys, I literally ran into a shelf that was displaying Mommy’s Time Out Pinot Grigio 2005. If that wasn’t a signal to buy the stuff, I am not sure what would be. Priced at only $8.99, how could I pass it up? I had my doubts about the taste of the wine, but bought it simply for the name and the state of mind it reflected.

I am not a huge Pinot Grigio fan to begin with as my heart lies more with burgundies and reds. The taste of Mommy’s Time Out was manageable, with a light fruity body and low acidity. It had a surprisingly smooth finish and overall left me surprised that I could palate an entire bottle; whereas other Pinot Grigios have been abandoned for something red mid bottle.

I would suggest this wine to anyone who enjoys drinking a white wine. It is overwhelming tasty for such a good price. It would make the perfect wine to tote to your next Mom’s Night Out!
