What's the price?
Is 'prominent oak aroma' actually a good thing for you?

Not prominent but a nice hint of oak.
$8 for 1.5L

That is cheap. I suppose at that level they need some oak flavors (probably from oak chips or some other derivative instead of barrels, otherwise it would be more expensive) to help along the taste of the fruit.

I have not but on a whim my wife bought a bottle of the sparkling Pinot Grigio. I was expecting the worse but it was better than I expected. Still not something that I would want to drink often.
