"For your pleasure
In our present state
Part false part true
Like anything
We present ourselvesThe words we use tumble
All over your shoulder
Gravel hard and looseThere all night lying
With your dark horse hiding
Abhorring such extremes" - Bryan FerryCategories

2012 Kirrihill Serendipity Vineyard Pinot Grigio
Made for a very specific demographic I suspect. One that probably doesn’t visit this kind of site very often. Certainly won’t help the confusion between Gris and Grigio. As much about sherbet and boiled lollies as it is about pears … Continue reading
2012 Angullong Pinot Grigio
I see a Pinot Grigio and I think ‘ho-hum’. Nothing changed when I pulled this from the fridge and poured a glass. Trends towards neutrality with faint aromas of pear, lemon and nuts. No real length – although I suspect … Continue reading
2012 Pizzini Pinot Grigio
I used to buy Pizzini Pinot Grigio back when it had a distinctive pink/bronze hue (2006 was the last of those I think). I thought it rather fetching but in a conversation with Joel Pizzini many years ago he mentioned that a … Continue reading
2009 La Vendetta Pinot Grigio
Italy, delle Venezie 12.0% Screwcap $15.99 What can I say about Pinot Grigio that hasn’t already been said? Think I’ll just review the wine. It smells of pears, honeysuckle and nuts. Maybe a little orange blossom. It’s on the palate … Continue reading

2010 Yalumba Y Series Pinot Grigio
South Australia 13.0% Screwcap $14.95 As opposed to the last wine reviewed, this is in fact a Pinot Gris. So say I. It’s about riper, fuller varietal fruit and a softer mouth feel. What’s more, it’s a jolly good Pinot Gris … Continue reading

2009 Brown Brothers Pinot Grigio
King Valley 12.5% Screwcap $12.90 Source: Retail The Dan Murphy tasting panel gave this 90 points. I suspect James Suckling would be more like; “I’m 86 on that!”. That would probably be the only thing Suckling and I could agree … Continue reading

2008 Pizzini Pinot Grigio
King Valley 12.2% Screwcap $19 Back on the Grigio train, and here is an excellent example. I tasted it earlier in the year at the Brisbane Wine Festival and was a tad disappointed. No such problems this time. Gone are … Continue reading

2008 David Hook Pinot Grigio
Hunter Valley 11% Screwcap $18 For someone more inclined towards inland beauty I’ve been getting to the beach a lot lately. Shared this with a friend over at Coochiemudlo (which still looks and feels the same as it did when … Continue reading

2008 Curly Flat Pinot Grigio
Lancefield Macedon 11.7% Screwcap $24-Tasted 25/4/09 Back to maligned varietals, but first may I digress? (and lets face it, who’s gonna stop me) A few years back I was enrolled in a wonderful Southern Queensland Institute’s Sturt Affiliated Wine Science … Continue reading
