2011 Araldica Pinot Grigio d'AriaPiemonte DOC more |
8/15/2012 - RichardSandlan wrote: 88 pointsAverage Pinot Grigio, very drinkable for when you have non wine appreciating guests over and don't want to open a sneaky decent bottle. Fresh and fruity and good on a warm day. |

For 7 quid it's a decent wine to crack open when you have non wine appreciating guests over but still want to enjoy some palletable wine without opening a sneaky separate bottle ;) |

2011 Cavit Pinot Grigio Trentino d'Arcanamore |
7/27/2012 - RichardSandlan wrote: 85 pointsVery drinkable, refreshing Pinot Grigio that can be used for many occasions. For me this is a daily drinker and we had it with some pasta and then cracked a second bottle on its own, it just goes down easily without too much fuss and is crisp and fresh. |

4/1/2013 - RichardSandlan wrote: 89 pointsI like this. Fragrant and delicate Pinot Noir, with a hint of Burgandy in there. Still young so would like to keep a bottle tucked away for a few years and watch it develop. I will be buying more of this. |

2009 Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis 1er Cru VaulignotChardonnay more |
10/20/2012 - RichardSandlan wrote: 86 pointsCitrus fruit and pineapple galore on this. Big bite when first opened with lots of acidity I did not like, but then I did something different and decanted. The wine opened up and the acidity went and this turned in to a fabulous fresh and fruity Chablis. |

2009 Sylvain Mosnier Petit ChablisChardonnay more |
7/15/2012 - RichardSandlan wrote: 88 pointsMinerals and citrus on the nose with a bright, fresh and vibrant taste. Medium body but very delicate. A great introduction to the wonderful wines of Chablis. Very enjoyable for the price, glad I have one bottle left but also very much looking forward to knocking it up a notch with a Mosnier Chablis and 1er Cru. |

2007 Araldica Barbera d'Asti d'Ariamore |
7/29/2012 - RichardSandlan wrote: 84 pointsDeep and rich with loads of fruit, quite a bit of alcohol present but it drank well. Initially had after a wonderful journey through some decent French wines and thought this was ready for the sink however just enjoyed the night after and it's a decent bottle of wine. |
