Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio

[Georgie]

I had a glass of this at a restaurant last evening with a pasta, chicken and peas dish. I can't say I was too impressed with this one. Just a glass of wine, if you know what I mean.

[Kcwhippet]

Though they can make good juice, I don't think this is one of Gallo's better efforts.

[Thomas]

That's probably because where they grow their pinot grigio in California they should NOT, as sure as in parts of New York people should NOT grow cabernet sauvignon.

[Kcwhippet]

Well, actually, they grow the grapes in the Venezie district in Italy.

[Thomas]

Oh--I never realized that, 'cause I never drink that wine.

Is it around Venice or is it in Friuli Venezia Giulia?

Well then, it must be a combination of poor growing practices, poor location and poor selection.

[Kcwhippet]

Venice. I've never had it either, mostly because I don't particularly care for Pinot Grigio. I do like Pinot Gris, though, but that's done in a whole different style.

Last time I tried it, with little other otions, I distictly detected oak in it. Should never be in a PG.
