Pinkish. Creamy, spicy smell. Dry, fresh, clean and yet spicy on the end. Good effort. 11/10/07 |

Mine was the '08, and I wanted some more. Seems to be out of stock now...Bought it on offer at £3.74 and was somewhat impressed. Heading towards "grigio" rather that "gris" but does have a some softness and character. |

Flaccid (per pro Mel) sicky, confected, goes well with a grey burger and tasteless foamy bun. Gris = France, partic. Alsace = Grip, texture, some acidity, half decent with waitrose bottled archichoke hearts and bottled ceps. Who said that - some git in Berkshire ? |

This is somewhere'tween the two. |

I once had a Josmeyer Alsace pinot gris 2006. I got poached pear and alcohol. I was seriously disappointed. I have never had a pinot gris that I would buy again. Still, at least it's not pinot grigio. Pinot grigio drinkers should be executed for the good of mankind. In fact I suggest that Mel no longer put up tasting notes for the Italian version of this sad grape. Tis a wine for trendy tasteless plonkers |

In reveiwing the medicinal benefits of Pinot Grigio accrueing to this most versatile of wines. We see a portrait of the surgeon, the eminent Dr Jackal, jubilant after a successful operation. Underneath, the successful outcome for one of his patients. some git in Berkshire |

Nice....... needs to be a bit hot, cuts better. NB. I like that oil they come in, at the end - poured on lightly peppered soda bread like good ole fashion vegetarian dripping - makes an ideal stomach lining, "as a get prepared for", dinner party mega slurp
