A worthy shout-out, I reckon. As with the much-maligned Gris/Grigio—understandably given the ocean of beige examples out there—I think Blanc/Bianco shows intrigue worthy of the Pinot family name when given some good dirt and attention. Between Alsace, Baden, Alto Adige and elsewhere there are compelling cases being made. I’m not familiar with Bender’s spin on it, but done right, this Burgunder can be one of my Weisses.
Agreed! I was looking at the bottle (empty) this morning and thinking I really should have gushed more about it! It is so amazingly balanced and complex …and at such a great price!

LOVED this Eveline! I'm definitely on the lookout for this wine...
It is so delicious! I was salivating as I was writing down the pairings thinking of how I will enjoy my next bottle! Big hug to you!
Words to the "weiss"!

Definitely worth a try. Another great read. Thank you. Enjoy the good weather.
I think you would like this style.
Well I’ll give it a go. A good wine sale on this weekend I’ll pop to x
Feel free to send me pics when at store. I am happy to guide you... Time difference may be problematic... 😊
It's Pinot Bianco in Italy. Blanco is Spanish, and off the top of my head I can't think of anyone who has Pinot Blanc planted in Spain.
Good catch! Typo! Thanks 🙏
