    Hi.

    Was given a bottle by a friend who doesn't drink wine, who himself had it gifted to him at work.

    We popped this bottle open at a dinner party and I've been looking for it ever since.

    Here's the pic of the exact same bottle:

    I've tried other Pinot Grigio wines from other regions and can't seem to find a this exact bottle.

    Any help appreciated.

    Sorry, don't know.

    But what I DO know is that there is a great organic Pinot Grigio de Veneto in Aldi at the moment (fat bottle, now gone to the bottle bank), and it was very good. About 8 or 9 quid I think.

    Sorry I cannot help further.

    Will defiantly check it out.

    This wine did taste very organic (home made).

    Hi.

    Checking Asda website and can't find it.

    Any Asda in particular?

    I travel to London often and sometimes have colleagues travel to NI for work as well.

    What are the taste characteristics of organic wine?

    I can imagine what home made wine tastes like alright.

    I always find that good wine tastes weaker than it actually is. For example it could be 12% proof but taste like 8%.
    All the aromas described on the bottle hit you first before you taste the actual alcohol.

    That's just few indicators that I'm looking for when I'm looking for wine.

    Cheers.

    Try a Soave , as that is the main grape in it, Garganega.

    But this is a similar blend
