Lamberti - Pinot Grigio blush

Origin: Italy
Price: $11.95
Vintage: 2008
Date drunk: May 30th, 2009



g.: It tastes exactly how it looks.*

d.: It's almost coppery.

* and this wine looks AMAZING. It's a light pinkish orange.

d.: It looks and tastes very autumnal.

g.: I've never had a rose Pinot Grigio before, and I have to say that this venture is a GREAT SUCCESS. The friendly and knowledgeable cashier at the LCBO was really into this, and said that he often "sits on the web with a bottle, and all of a sudden it's 3AM." That is a serious seal of approval.

d.: It's like drinking juice, it's so clear and smooth.

g.: It's super balanced; not too sweet, not too bitter or acidic. It's so pretty and refreshing and unassuming that I just want to give it a big hug and a warm meal and be its friend forever. I think I would also like a sweater in this colour. Could I dye a white one with wine? I would like to FIND OUT.
