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

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

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
