This little number falls into the catagory of "Wines with Funny Names". A while back, we had a Sunday Supper Club. With three couples trading homes each week we would cook, drink and have hangovers on Monday. It became a game to find wines with strange names. The easy one's were Menage a Trois and Fat Bastard of course. But frankly, the Red Rooster (I think) Pinot Grigio was AWESOME.
So in a bit of nostalgia, I bought the Dog Tail Vinyard WatchDog White California White Wine. At least it had a "real" top to it - still not a cork but I've gotten over that bit of wine snobbery.
As we know, a White Table Wine does not possess the requisite number of specific grapes to have a real grapey name. Given this wine's lack of "oaky-ness" I would not attribute a chardonnay type of taste but instead lean more towards the pinot grigio essence. I enjoy it - it is nice to come home to. I will not, however, be serving it to impress but to calm down after a long day.
Can't figure out why the poor dog has his head buried on the dirt.
I do believe this little baby was about $4.00 at my favorite discount grocery store.
