Be pleasantly surprised by this pinot grigio

I used to think all Romanian wines were simple and cheap. So when I tried Paparuda Estate Selection Pinot Grigio 2015, I wasn’t expecting a solidly made, medium-weight dry white with impressive flavor and finish. When I realized it cost less than $10, my baditude was seriously humbled. Note to self: (almost) never judge a wine by the label. $8.50. Available at Global Foods
