"Over-promoted commercial brands (Jacob's Creek, Gallo, Hardy's), judging a book by its cover ("I NEVER drink Chardonnay" - but in a blind tasting they could hardly tell a Chardonnay from a Cabernet...), buying French wine at all costs - the safety blanket of the English wine drinker of a certain age. If it's French, it must be better. Get over it!"

Great idea and great post even if it did interfere with the game last night!

Interested that Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris are listed in the "naff" and "hot" categories respectively.

I was under the impression that these were the same varietal. Is it that "naff" is relating to what is being done in Italy with the grape whereas "hot" is to do with what is being made elsewhere? Is there a region in particular that is contributing to the "hot" rating for Pinot Gris?



From: Andrew (April 6, 2005 8:50 AM)

Pinot Gris outside of Italy is certainly hot. In the UK dry, tasteless, weak Pinot Grigios seem to be popular in certain circles. With more weight, even a touch of sweetness, and at least some semblance of flavour they are very popular with me at least! The New Zealand one, linked to in the post, is a good example.
