Friuli-Venezia Giulia white wines – WBW #41 Roundup is up!

The mission this month was to explore Friuli-Venezia Giulia white wine. Some participants had a hard time finding anything more than a basic-level Tocai Friulano and Pinot Grigio. But most of those who found a superior bottle enjoyed a very good wine…and even some who didn’t found a very nice wine. One person even stumbled upon a Pinot Grigio of the Gods (2004 Lis Neris Gris)!

There were quite a few first time participants for this event. There were also six international contributors: three from the UK, and one each from Italy, the Netherlands and Hong Kong.

Enough…head to Fork & Bottle’s Roundup page for links and text to more than 40 participants, along with commentary and bonus linkage.

Jack and Joanne of Fork & Bottle are hosting January’s WBW. The theme is the spectacular, incredible, nearly unbeatable white wines from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Northeastern Italy (with a touch of Slovenia).

All of the details are here – and, this is the permanent url.

Dust off those white wine glasses, get yourself to that Italian-savvy wine store, and explore the wonders of the white wine world, the sensational vino biancos of Friuli.
