Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

Deep straw yellow with golden tinges. Distinct bouquet and sharpened by notes of orange blossom and fresh white fruit such as apple and pear. On the palate dry and full, pleasantly bitterish with notes of mugwort. goes well with Ideal with ham and soft cheeses; delicious with main dishes dressed with red sauces and white meats.

James Belardo rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

The Blu Giovello Pinot Grigio is crispy and good acid to help bite through fried foods like breaded chicken, veal or pork cutlets. Not stellar but a good every day wine for lunch or dinner. Will be great for the summertime. A great wine for casual drinking and phenomenal for cooking!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
