Cheap Pino Grigios

I love white wines and Pino Grigios are my favorite. Correction..Cheap Pino Grigios are my favorite. Here are some good ones from wsj.com

Barefoot Cellars Pinot Grigio Nonvintage (California). $5.99
Good/Very Good
Crisp, clean and well conceived, with tangy fruit and vibrant flavors of white peaches, lime and some earth. This is a steal.

The Hogue Cellars Pinot Grigio 2007 (Columbia Valley). $6.99
Very Good
Best value. Clean, bright, fresh and utterly winning. Fun and alive, with all sorts of tastes of just-picked fruit. Another reasonably priced winner from Hogue


Wine by Joe Pinot Gris 2006 (Oregon). $12.00*
Good/Very Good
Rounder than most, with some honey and plenty of ripe lemon-lime fruit. Nicely crisp on the finish.

One more love story...

Even now, in some parts of India, couples of different castes or religions are prosecuted...not by the law but by Parents, Relatives or even by society. But no where I had read about the Law persecuting couples.

Read the below love story about Race based persecution(with happy ending) in the USA in 1960s.
economist.com

Now I think about it, there are still more countries that persecute people in this regard. KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), Israel (sort of). Do you know of any more ?
