It's wine-o'clock in the Rabbit Hole once again, and we've started brand-spankin-new notebooks devoted to blind tasting. I thought an Italian Pinot Grigio would be just the thing to challenge Braun for our books. Enter Erste + Neue with a classy (and classic!) Alto Adige:
Alto Adige is the northernmost wine region of Italia, and is also known as Südtirol (South Tyrol) by the neighboring Austrians. Other than the fact that they make other-worldly white wines and are super German, all you really need to know is:
Like a friggin fairytale barfed on the map... is it time to retire yet?!
Anyway, back to the blind tasting test. After pouring the wine and hiding the bottle, there was much deliberation over notes of white peach, minerals and pears, vanilla cake, white chocolate & flower blossoms, Braun was confident in his assessment that this, in fact was a Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige. Another blind tasting win!
