The first tasting of Pinot Grigio 2010
This year's Pinot Grigio is a special one for many reasons.
It was a very good year for the white grapes. Some people say the best in the past ten years.

Inevitably grapes have to be hand-picked using a special bucket. After a day's hand-picking the sensation is the same as having painted the ceiling:
