A fine Pinot Grigio from the Trentino Alto Adige region in northern Italy and one which is certainly good value. Always nice to see a European wine under screwcap – hopefully this is just the start as it helps ensure maximum freshness and vibrancy for the wine. A pleasing pale yellow hue. The nose is dominated by crisp pears with hints of nuts, minerals and garden herbs. The palate is rounded in shape and the wine offers a soft and pleasing texture. A fine line of acidity helps draw focus to the lingering finish. Definitely worth a look but it should be seen as a drink now style.
Ken was born and bred in Brisbane, Queensland. He had a non-trendy, perfectly happy childhood, in a family convinced alcohol meant instant condemnation to Hades. But a break fishing on the Great Barrier Reef, and some good wine, started a serious obsession that eventually took over. It did not stop Ken being chastised later for drinking Pol champagne, disgusted he’d drink anything made by a Cambodian dictator. Now, Ken mostly writes on wine, champagne and spirits for various newspapers, magazines and books, but is perhaps best known for his work in The Courier Mail. He also has a little sideline writing on cigars, fishing, travel and food. When not writing, fly-fishing for trout in NZ or bonefish on the flats of Cuba, travelling or smoking cigars, he is no doubt following a variety of sporting teams – the occasionally glorious Queensland Reds rugby, the dysfunctional Washington Redskins, the dodgy Arsenal and especially revels in the world restored to its proper axis with the return of the Ashes to their rightful home.
