Curlewis Reserve Pinot Noir 2007 has been reviewed on other tasting dates:
eaten standing up with drinks. 507.In 1969, Italy gave Prosecco its own controlled appellation, which is called DOC Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene. Valdobbiadene and Conegliano are geographic areas where Prosecco has been grown historically. Until the early part of the twentieth century, Prosecco was mainly a still wine. 508.Prosecco is now bubbly because its better that way. The high acidity, light body, and aromatic character work well with fizz, making it a great refresher. 509.Many varietal labeled wines come from the Friuli region. One of the areas top winemakers is Silvio Jermann. He makes very good Pinot Grigio thats riper and more interesting than most. His so-called Jermann Pinot Grigio 2004 is a full, fleshy expression of peach and sage with hints of roasted nuts. Drink all Pinot Grigio young. 510.Pinot Grigio is the same grape as Pinot Gris from Alsace but they taste very different. In Italy, the grapes are harvested less ripe, creating a lighter, leaner, and much more neutral tasting wine reminiscent of flowers and lemons. Pinot Gris tastes of spiced peach. 138 1000 BEST WINE SECRETS 511.Radikon is a biodynamic producer in the Friuli-Venezia region of Italy. 512.The best recent vintages for Northeast Italy were 1997, 1998, 2000, 2003,
