Friuli, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
Wednesday Wine Committee. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All tasted blind as usual.
Not a single person called this Italian. In fact, most called this either Alsatian Riesling (what I thought), Alsatian Pinot Gris it even Bordeaux Blanc. This was a dead ringer for Riesling from Alsace...petrol on the nose, tart white peach and crushed limestone on the palate. Unique.
