David, were I still suffering from this experience, your use of words such as 'splendidly satisfying', 'sublimely superior' and 'stupefyingly sickening' would have lifted me up again.
I am sorry though to read about your pain with Blue Nun. From previous encounters with Blue Nun I'd say that the Black Tower is certainly more drinkable. Obviously, it is also a little more expensive, so you would hope it being not that off-putting. Still, I could not get myself to finish the bottle - in fact I did not even come close, despite keeping it open for a few days to see how/if it would develop.
Shame though that the good German Pinot Gris is not easy to be had in the UK. Luckily, I happen to have a few bottles at home. It is hard to believe that this Pinot Grigio and many of the boring Italian examples I have tasted in another life are made from the same varietal.
Again, thanks for your alarmingly amusing words,
Torsten
