“Larger Than Life” Review – Jay McInerney, The Wall Street Journal
We Can Hold Your Wine Until Cooler Shipping Weather
An August 14 wine article in The Wall Street Journal caught our eye. It was titled “Giving Pinot Grigio Another Go,” written by Jay McInerney. To make a long story short, McInerney “…encountered a Pinot Grigio that blew my mind…” In fact, he made this Pinot Grigio the central focus of the article. What was this amazing Pinot Grigio? Movia 2007.
Let us quote: “More recently on a visit to the Breslin Bar, a fashionable and calorific Manhattan hotspot, I encountered a Pinot Grigio that blew my mind and encouraged me to reopen the question: Can Pinot Grigio possibly be serious? The wine was a 2007 Pinot Grigio from Movia, a winery founded a year before Lageder's in 1820, which is in Slovenia just across the Italian border adjacent to some of the best vineyards of Friuli.
I had met Movia's winemaker/proprietor Ales Kristancic in Friuli and again in New York and he'd impressed me as one of the most energetic, not to say manic, characters of my acquaintance. At any rate, his wines are incredibly expressive and singular and already, in his mid 40s, he's a legendary figure in wine circles. Like almost everything about Ales, his Pinot Grigio is larger than life, rich and concentrated with a host of exotic fruit flavors and mineral notes. Was this a one-off, or was it possible that real men could drink Pinot Grigio again? “
Forget what you know about Pinot Grigio. This wine takes the grape to a new level. At our sale price, we just made owning this benchmark Pinot Grigio that much easier.
