20 Best Wine For Chicken Alfredo (2023 Updated)

I was searching for highly reviewed wine, and recalling the store clerk’s recommendation for Cupcake Prosecco, the week before(which we didn’t purchase), we figured we’d give it a try. After all, it had over 4K positive reviews, at 4.

5 stars. Fortunately, my guy thought ahead, and purchased two other label PGs. At first drink, I choked, and my guy was highly entertained by my facial expressions of disgust as I coughed between “oh my god” statements.

Being the trooper that I am, I insisted on giving it another taste. I did not hesitate when my guy, between laughs, suggested tossing out what was left in my wine glass, and in the bottle, down the sink.

I have absolutely no idea who, or why, would give Cupcake Pinot Grigio the positive and high star reviews. This PG is definitely a 5 star if provided in a brown paper bag, which it should be. Bleh.

I thought I’d venture out of my comfort zone a bit and try a Pinot Grigio. Cupcake is a known brand, so I gave it a whirl. The nose is as described, I found it a bit heavy on the alcohol, but was still able to enjoy it with alone at a slow pace; and with the addition of sparkling tangerine water.

It’s a full-bodied wine, not awful, just not for me.

I love love LOVE this wine! It really hits the spot on a Friday night after a loooong week at work. I recommend it to all of my friends and family. I always keep this wine replenished in my fridge!

I found this rather bland even for a “cheap” wine. After reading all the positive reviews I’m a little underwhelmed. This is the kind of wine I expect to drink at a wedding as it was picked not to offend anybody.

I didn’t enjoy drinking it at home. It sits thick on the tongue with zero of the crispness you’d expect from a Pinot. It’s not sweet, it’s just not good. I would not recommend unless you drink wine for the alcohol and not the taste of good wine.

I would not buy again.

I bought this for my husband for our wedding anniversary and he loved it! After trying it, he said “oh we’re going to need to go to the store and grab a couple more bottles of this!” This Pinot Grigio has a good flavor but received 4 stars because it has a kick to it.

It wasn’t as smooth as other brands of Pinot but still, it’s delicious.

I tried this the other night with my boyfriend and the first gulp I took. tasted like straight throw up. I had my boyfriend try it and he agreed. Not only did it taste like throw up but smelled like it too.

I’m very disappointed.

I have kept a bartending position since before starting und graduate school and while I am not a sommelier I can speak as someone who has tried hundreds of varietals and poured thousands of glasses for others (seriously more than that) over the course of some 18 years.

The Marlborough region of New Zealand is best known for housing the vineyards responsible for some of the best Sauvignon Blanc wines (since it’s development in France) due to the climate and natural land layout.

There are many complexities about the production but I’ll skip the details and get to the actual review. I don’t know what the bottle retailed for as several were purchased but in looking online it seems to retail from about $8-$14 for a standard 750ml glass bottle (not the cans).

This is a very reasonable price that adds to the overall “drinkability”, my wine rating system that places a bottle between being a reasonable “any daily” consumable (if desired) to a “special occasion” blend.

This is a dry wine by nearly all accounts but the very fruit forward zesty Meyer lemon and sparkling grapefruit notes round out the dry aspect making it quite palatable. Depending on the vintage I have noticed that the flavors do change more than with other newer S.

B. s (for example the 2019 is sweeter and I’m told it is a heavier “pear” note that leads more than the lemon). Given the taste, availability and price point this is an affordable, well liked wine that can be poured at home on a hot summer’s day and it works as a hostess gift with its cute and not “cheesy” packaging.

*NOTE- This does contain sulphites so if someone is headache prone with wine being a trigger, this is not the best choice. Many people think it has to be “oaked” to have sulphites so a pale varietal is safe- not true- just take my word and look for a sulphite free varietal in your area.

Cheers!.

Mmmmmm yummmy!!! bought at my local kroger for a card party. The girls all loved it!!! One friend loved it soo much she asked if i could pick her up a bottle next time i go out lol! She says it is her new night time wine.

not harsh tasting, not bitter. Definitely a sweeter wine, white. Pairs well with steak too. Really brings all of the flavors together. And for the price, you really cant go wrong! no more ordering expensive wine offline, now i can go to my local supermarket and just purchase this wine.

For way cheaper!!! I paid double the amount just to pay for expensive shipping charges on top of receiving damaged bottles upon arrival.

I love this white wine. I usually have it on the holidays but since I haven’t gotten together with family in a while I have been missing out. They usually have this at my local grocery store which is great when I get the chance to buy it.

The bottle of wine is also really reasonably priced. It is $8 at my grocery store. The flavor is sweet but not too sweet. It is a nice little bottle to have for a relaxing night. The name makes it sound really sweet but it is a very subtle sweet flavor.

My boyfriend turned me onto this wine. I’m bit of wine snob so I expected it to taste like a cheaper wine. Wow quite the opposite. This is smooth enough, fruity yet dry and light. Perfect for warmer weather and so easy to drink yikes!.

For years this has been my “go to” stock white wine. Cavit Pinot Grigio is the fine medium balance between sweet and dry. A perfect (in my opinion) middle of the road white wine if you are not looking for a wine that is overly sweet nor dry.

A great accompaniment to light or heavy dishes. Eventhough the coventional rule of red wine with meat and white wine for pasta or fish/lighter dishes applies to “heavier” wines, Cavit Pinot Grigio (in my opinion) pairs wells with all meals!.

Chateau Ste Michelle has been on our “bucket list” of trips for 20 years. We had their Chardonnay on our first date and it is a wine that has special meaning for us. Whenever we go out for dinner we always look for Chateau Ste Michelle wines.

The winery and tours exceeded our expectations. We went on three tours and each were very different and each were great experiences – Sensory Sojourn, Private Salon Tasting and Celebrate Sparkling. If you are lucky to have Julio, Claire or Laura Lee as your guides/educators you won’t be disappointed, in fact they are each pretty amazing.

They were extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and you could tell really enjoyed what they were doing. They made wine accessible not pretentious. Would definitely go back again! We also became wine club members.

Looking forward to re-experiencing our trip with our first shipment of wine! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!.

Wine is one of the most difficult products to rate objectively. Even the most respected wine connoisseur is reviewing each product subjectively, despite having seemingly universally applicable characteristics to compare.

That said, my choices of wines are based on three factors: variety, taste and price. To me, the best overall wines in America come from the Columbia river valley. This comment is regarding the Chateau Ste.

Michelle Chardonnay. The generic version of this wine is crisp and taste is comparable to many higher-priced and even many varietals from this area. It stands out (to me) primarily because of its quality and because it is under $10 almost everywhere except on a cruise ship.

Perfect for a daily meal! Woodbridge has amazing quality for its price honestly. Robert Mondavi’s name is mirrored with how this wine tastes! I drink this wine with seafood, a salad and/or a pasta, usually in the afternoon with family or friends.

Easy wine for people starting in the wine world.

This wine is pretty good! It isn’t an incredibly sweet wine but still has nice flavors throughout the body. I regularly buy this wine and I appreciate that both quality and price point are considered in the marketing of this product.

Would recommend!.

I love the individualized bottles. These are great for having friends over or a picnic and especially during covid—everyone gets their own! However, this is not my favorite Riesling. It is a little sweeter but the finish on it is sort of rough and unexpectedly acidic and not smooth as you’d expect for something like this.

It’s not terrible, but it’s not my first choice.

These are so cute and tasty! I bought a few of them to add into some gift baskets during the holidays and was thinking that since they were so cheap, they would be taste alright. I decided to try one and I was actually pretty impressed! They are now a staple in my gift baskets as well as my fridge.

I always, always, always will reach for a Moscato, since it’s on the end of the SWEETEST WINES category. There’s many people that don’t seem to like it as sweet as I do, but it makes me happy, when I can find a wine that I like.

SUTTER HOME has many options of wines at affordable prices for everyone. I can’t really specify the tastes of most others, because I’m stuck on moscatos. 😄🍷.

Easy drinking white wine at a very reasonable price. As a house white wine, there is really nothing in this quality and price range that compares. Incredibly underappreciated. This has been my go-to white wine for more than 20 years.

Perfect for serving to guests at large gathering or for just have a glass of wine while cooking dinner. Like Gruner Veltliner, a great paring for most foods Un-oaked, in a good way. VERY drinkable. Typically sold out at most locations.

This is a great example of what a skilled winemaker at the top of their game (Gallo) can deliver at scale, at quality, and at a very affordable price. If you like to casually, rather than snobbishly, drink white wine, you really owe it to yourself to try this simple, honest, easy to drink wine.

It is not going to win any competition medals, but it is strikingly better than any of the box whites. For the over-oaked chardonnay lovers, this is not for you. But for everyone else, this is VERY highly recommended.

I’ve found it impossible to find Chablis wine outside of Total` Wine. If you need to serve a crowd and don’t want boxed Chablis this is a great way to go! If you love the Chardonnay grape and don’t want the oak-age of a Chardonnay this is it.

A clean, fresh, crisp-dry white wine. An everyday good drinking wine at a wonderful price.

I also don’t care what the wine – snobs say. This is a great, easy drinking light wine. I told someone years ago that I taste crisp green apple notes – long before I read the description here that says the exact thing.

But the overall lightness and crispness is what makes this an excellent choice as a good accompaniment for all kinds of food but light enough to enjoy on it’s own. It is actually is lower in alcohol than more ‘serious’ wines which is an added bonus for everyday enjoyment.

This is one of my favorite more affordable brands of Pinot Grigio! Definitely one of my go-to’s for vacation when I know I will be drinking a little more than normal. The taste is great it is just the perfect combination of dry and sweet without being too sweet! Would definitely recommend if looking for budget wine.

This is one of our favorites. Not very dry but has a light light taste to it. Also another not badly priced and also goes with a white sauce, chicken or fish dish. Or. like the blush just to have glass.

I would recommend absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a non super sweet white like moscato.

Has a nice light on the tongue flavor. Not too sweet or dry. The quality is great compared to others in the same price range. There’s nothing I would do to change the product itself, but how its sold, it should come in a 2 bottle package for like hosting parties.

One for the party, one for the host kind of thing.

IšverstiShow in original languageNot the same product, but same brand. This was by far the best sweet wine I’ve ever tasted. I’m not a huge wine drinker, and don’t buy super expensive brands usually.

Not a connoisseur by any means, but this was so good!! It was under $20, so super affordable, and I could have downed the bottle myself, had I not been sharing with my sister! 😁. Mix between a standard wine and a wine cooler.

Delicious!!!.

IšverstiShow in original languageI’m a wine kind of woman, so I rarely get disappointed, but I do enjoy this wine. I recently really got into white wines (never drank them cause they seemed basic) but now I know why everyone enjoy a good pinot grigio.

It’s sweet and full of flavour. I’d recommend a try for all the skeptics, like I was.

IšverstiShow in original languageBelieve it or not I use this to make sauces. It has a distinct taste that pops when u add it w cheese of course n a semi sweet flavor when u add basil n garlic. But its also great to sip while cooking.

Not too expensive and its at almost every kroger and walmart I’ve been too.

Don’t be discouraged by other reviews! Paisano is well worth a try. It’s supremely drinkable. Perfect for someone that doesn’t like many other types of wine. It’s got a lower alcohol content than most wines as well, but that could be an advantage or disadvantage.

When certain meals call for red wine, never fear that you’re going to break the bank to pair a red with something for more than just yourself. In terms of taste, and value for the glass, this is a true winner.

Give it a try! If you don’t like it, your friends just might, and they will have plenty to go around!.

I have experience with cheap alcohols and liqueurs, and hands down this paisano was bottom of my list. I guess I am more of a rose drinker, but after 2 glasses I did not like that flavor anymore. Then I had the whole jug to drink and pretty much every time I wanted to drink I would chase this with some other non alcoholic drink because the flavor started bothering me.

It is cheap wine and price is great. I always think of sangria when I think of Carlo Rossi though.

Such a.smooth tasting wine. Nice glass reusable jug. Good price. Very tasty and satisfying. One of my favorites

I tried this wine because I had lost my management job to Covid and had to change my lifestyle a bit to match my budget. I saw this $5 bottle of Pinot Grigio at Target one night after a long day and grabbed it on a whim, truly not expecting much.

To my surprise, it was sweet (but not too sweet), crisp, without the residual tangy film and has just the slightest, and tiniest carbonation to it to please the palette. Whenever I go through checkout with this wine, the cashiers always comment on how they can’t believe a $5 bottle of wine is so good! I never write reviews but California Roots genuinely was a pleasant surprise and deserves the praise.

So happy that I stumbled across my new favorite wine that would still be my favorite even if it didn’t cost $5. It fits into the lifestyle that I’ve had to adapt to in hard times and I don’t have to sacrifice something that I love to stay within budget.

Thank you, California Roots for bringing some good into 2020 and this beginning of 2021! Cheers!.

First sip and I was in love. I was nervous on some of the reviews of bad hangovers. I’m a light weight so I decided to drink this with ease at first lol. Taste just like moscato should in my opinion of being a frequent wine drinker.

Half way through the bottle I told my husband I was so confused on the bad reviews for this wine brand. It’s a good wine and the whole bottle did give me a good buzz, not drunk. My husband said the bad reviews are the people who are too rich to walk into Walmart so they settle for target because they ran out of their $300 bottle of Pinot lol.

Needless to say, I finished the entire bottle in one night, got a good buzz, I never get hangovers drinking wine which this wine didn’t fail me. I woke up feeling great! Definitely buying again.

I enjoy wine, and I enjoy good affordable wines. California Roots is a surprisingly good brand of wines. I’ve tried almost all they have to offer, but my favorite is this Pinot Grigio. I’ve noticed other reviews calling this wine “too sweet”.

I wholeheartedly disagree, it’s a mild sweetness followed by a mild tartness. The flavors are crisp and, when paired correctly, remind me of green apple and pear. I love this wine, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys white wines that won’t break the bank.

I was looking for a Pinot grigio that was This is a medium bodied wine that has a crisp, white fruit aroma, that matches its taste. Very clean finish. Pairs well with salads and white meat, to include seafood.

Definitely serve this wine chilled. This is also a good start for those new to the wine world as well as those that shy away from white wine.

If you are like me, you’ve been searching for a decent, reasonably priced Italian Pinot Grigio and been routinely disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised by this one. It wasn’t too dry and had a nice, very distinctive flavor.

While it should be served chilled, it kept its nice flavor even after the bottle sat on the table for an hour or so. When I tried the left-overs the next day, it still retained its pleasing flavor. I know there are higher priced versions similar to this but I would suggest you start here and, maybe, save a couple of dollars for a very decent wine.

My new favorite! Crisp, not too dry with a hint of sweetness- excellent with fish.

This is probably the BEST Merlot I have tasted in a long time. I will be in to get 6 this week. Along with my usually monthly shopping of hard liquors and my White Wines. It was very smooth to the tongue with a subtle sweetness and no bitterness at all ,.

This wine has quickly become one of our favorites. It has a warm and soft flavor with a satisfying after taste. Very nice wine at a value price point.

First time buying Angeline Merlot Reserve. Im not an expert to say this wine has hints of this or that…it either tastes good or it doesn’t. This was a tasty and smooth merlot!

I prefer light and bubbly rose wines as the weather warms up. This is a favorite of mine. It’s not to sweet or bitter, it’s just the right balance. I prefer to drink this chilled or over ice. I usually like to pair this with seafood or alone.

Definitely one of my favorite Rose wines.

I really liked this sparkling wine, I love a light wine and this one was definitely a really good one. The price was really good and I would recommend bringing this to enjoy with friends. Packaging is also really pretty, which also encourages me to purchase it!.

I remember the bottle was super cute. I honestly don’t remember much about the wine itself. 🥴 Not sure why but I just don’t recall it. It didn’t stick out to me. I guess I need to get another bottle to bring my memory back.

Lol.

I bought this bottle because I had tried prophecy’s Rose first and target was out of Rose. I had never had Pinot Grigio before so this was my first time trying this type of wine. I fell in love immediately.

To be honest the Pinot Grigio is ever bit as good if not better than their Rose. It is really dry but insanely easy to drink. I could easily drink a full bottle of this in one sitting but i don’t because I don’t wanna get wasted lol.

This is a very dry wine. I’m not a fan of dry wines so I didn’t like this wine in and of itself. However, I mixed this with a seven up to make a sort of cocktail and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I do love the design of the labels from this particular company.

The price was pretty fair and I had a coupon for them from ibotta at the time I purchased these so that made them a perfect choice for me to try at the time. I probably wouldn’t buy this for myself again.

But if I was buying for someone who liked citrus notes and Pinot Grigio wines I would get this for them.

my everyday wine. I love mixing it with seltzer. I prefer this over most whites bc if the refreshing taste. Bigger bottles would be nice. Love the asthetic alone. Always recommend
