Life in a glass
Travelling the world a glass at a time…
I am a fan of the copper tone in PGs. It tends to polarise judges and punters, generally, are not sure about it.
Yeah I don’t mind it, when handled well. Can make rather attractive wines with a bit of weight and less of the ubiquitous PG of Italy. Amazing with food, as well
