Cavit Pinot Grigio is the kind of wine you keep in your fridge just in case — and then end up reaching for way more often than expected. It’s light, clean, and doesn’t try to be anything it’s not. You’re not going to find a wild flavor journey or anything too complex here, but what you will find is a crisp, easygoing white that does exactly what it needs to do: refresh you, pair well with pretty much anything, and quietly elevate the moment.

At first sip, it leans into a bright, zesty profile — fresh and dry without being sharp. The mouthfeel is smooth, almost soft, and there’s just enough acidity to keep things interesting. 

It’s not a wine you’ll write poems about, but it is one you’ll finish the bottle of, without noticing how fast it went. Whether you’re cooking something light, unwinding after a long day, or hosting a group that prefers something chill and not too adventurous, Cavit delivers. Bonus points for being under $12 and available pretty much everywhere.

Pair It With:
– Catching up with a friend on speaker while cleaning your apartment
– Pasta, popcorn, sushi, leftovers — it’s not picky


-Stefi

😊 Taste: 3.5/5 – light, crisp, low-drama
🍇 Vibe: 4.2/5 – super casual, reliably crowd-pleasing
😳 Label Coolness: 2.8/5 – not ugly, just not the main character
💵 Value: 4.6/5 – major bang for your buck
🍡 Dryness: 4/5 – fresh and dry, nothing sticky

Final Verdict: ✅ PASS THE GLASS
Cavit Pinot Grigio isn’t trying to impress sommeliers — and that’s what makes it so lovable. It’s simple, solid, and honestly just gets the job done. Keep a bottle in the fridge and you’ll never be caught off guard.

Rosé - Josh Cellars - $10.99

Wine Name: Josh Cellars  Rosé, 2023 Producer: Josh Cellars Price: $10.99 Date of Purchase: April 7, 2025 Store: Total Wine Location:  Old Country Rd Ste A Westbury, NY   I recently picked up a bottle of  Josh Cellars Rosé , expecting something light, maybe a little sweet — the typical profile we’ve all come to expect from most Rosés. But this one? Definitely took a different route. Let’s just say it’s not my favorite Rosé — but it’s an interesting one. I tried the wine while eating dinner at home with my love. We were sipping and eating a home-cooked chicken meal while conversing. What sets Josh Cellars Rosé apart is its dryness. It leans far away from the super-sweet, candy-flavored wines that tend to dominate the pink wine aisle. Instead, it’s crisp, clean, and a little restrained. Think strawberry and white peach with a subtle citrus finish. That dryness is honestly what makes it stand out — in both good and not-so-good ways. If you're looking for a Rosé to sip po...
