Pinkish. Creamy, spicy smell. Dry, fresh, clean and yet spicy on the end. Good effort.

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.

Me thinks they are the same gear.

Grigio = Italy & Calif, partic. 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 ?

Perzactomente what I was trying to get over. Same grape different accounting. 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

You need to broaden your horizons Goose, the best Pinot Grigio comes from Moldova.

Is nice.

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.

Puuuurfect for cutting thru those oily green and weird looking orange and grey things. 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 :D
