It is NOT gree-gee-oh, and it is NOT Ory-gone. PLEASE~! Otherwise good information.

Rocky 4 is the best Rocky

QOTD: Don't have one

I can honestly say I wish Drago punched Rockys head clean off in 4 so there wouldnt have been a 5 or 6. Actually I'll go so far as saying I wish Creed did it in 1 so that would have been it. I just dont find any of the Rocky's to be watchable. Nice color on the 2005 Fantinel Sant Helena Pinot Grigio. I could just swim in that. QOTD1: I wish I could have gone. If I had the ability to take lots of vacations Id pretty much follow you around to events and things in other states. QOTD2: I havent tasted much other than the cheap $8 a bottle kinds my parents have bought. :(

Favorite Pinot Grigio...can't think of any. I think I'll try one tonight. Also, what's up with people making fun of how you speak, like the comment below mine!? You say "grigio" however you want. You bring real smiles to many people, and you ought not forget that. Thanks, and keep the great shows coming.

Hey Gary

Did you realise that the Grigio in Pinot Grigio is pronounced Greejoe and not Greezeeoh? Grigio is Italian which means you pronounce it this way.

my favorite Pinot Grigio is Pieropan, from Veneto I believe.
Cin cin

Let me know if you can make it! I'll figure out a way to get to Jersey. I'll bring some of my group.

I want to come to the party but haven't figured out where to stay yet. I have had the Chelhalem Pinot Gris and about 1/2 dozen others from Oregon and Washington. My favorite Pinot Gris are from Alsace though.

Good show - I am a definite fan of the Pinot G's.

QOTD 1 - I am not sure whether I can make it. I have a trip planned to Juarez, MX and it may interfere.

QOTD 2 - Alois Legeder from Alto Adige - rocks!

1: tough getting to wine library from L.A. ::sob::
2: i recently had a tasty trimbach pinot grigio. pear-y.

1: OMG I wish
2: I really enjoy Alsatian Pinot Gris (great with a mushroom and bacon omlette), I may have a line on some 01 Grand Crus from Josmeyer. The other one that stands out is the A to Z Pinot Gris from Oregon for it's great value (liked that one with a salad with bacon and scallops on it).

QOTD- Ritratti PG is prob my favorite

I will be there 3/29

QOTD 1 : Yes! Can't wait!

QOTD 2 : Fantinel Tesis PG

QOTD: I've always liked the J Pinot Gris. Served it, along with their Pinot Noir and sparkling white, at my wedding. (www.jwine.com)

QOTD:
1. Maaaaaayyybe....
2. Tutu Pinot Grigio from Cali!

The only Pinot Gris I've ever had was from Sterling Vineyards. I recall really enjoying it.

QOTD1: No - 12,300km is just a wee bit too far to travel.

QOTD2: JOSEPH ‘d’Elena’ Pinot Grigio, would be my fave PG.

QOTD: I had an off-dry style Pinot Gris from Fielding Estate that I enjoyed, which is saying a lot since I generally don't drink PG.

GV,
Although it would be a great trip, I won't be able to make it out on 3/29 from Hawaii. When we do move back to the east coast, I'll definitely make the trip to the store. I've been discovering a bunch of new varietals lately and haven't yet tried Pinot Gris or Pinto Grigio that I can remember. Started out as a red fan and have recently started trying and buying the whites. Chard, Sauv Blanc, and Gewurz are the ones I've tried so far, but will seek out some PGs.

QOTD #1: As of now my wife and I are planning to fly in for the party. Have had some health concerns of late and hope that doesn't alter the plans.
QOTD #2: Nec-otium from Italy.

QOTD: Burrowing Owl Pinot Gris from Oliver BC (Canada)

have to try that cheese. pinot gris is the best best white variety! i feld in love to it in 2007 when i did vintage in Tasmania. answer: tamar ridge winery pinot gris

QOTD : CA SELVA PINOT GRIGIO

Will be there on the 29th. Room is already reserved so we can spend the night. Sitter for the kids is already arranged. Have recruited 3 non-Vayniacs to come along for the fun. Counting down the days.....

I am totally a sucker for milkshakes, and right down the road from my office is a cold stone creamery. I go in about 3 times a month to get their half off milkshake on Thursdays. I get the cheese cake ice cream mixed with graham crackers and real strawberries. Nothing beats it right now.

Great idea with the head to head action.

Enjoying this weeks format GV. Don't think I'll be able to get to NJ this March un fortunately. I am a fan of the VanDuzer Pinot Gris.

I'm ready to quit my job of seven years to make it down there for the 29th. I'll do my best, sir. I've been dying to see the thunder's homested.

QOTD#1: Sorry, I can't be at WL on 3/29--but I will see you the next week in Seattle!
QOTD#2: I haven't had a lot of Pinot G, so no favorites.

I like the head-to-head format, especially seeing both wines in a glass side-by-side. A direct comparison often tells you much more than tasting them one after another.

QOTD: Won't be able to make it up this time GV. QOTD #2: Don't drink a lot of PG but have found Zenato to be a consistently good producer.

You mentioned the sugar cane aromas..they harvested the crops around here in mid December and that smell hangs in the air for about a week.

Oh i forgot Kiddie city was awesome... Much better than Toys R Us.... Bring back the cool toys of the 80's

Yo GV miss ya buddy. I am going to try like hell to get there on the 29th I would be coming from Reading PA about 2 hours away...
Anyway I get to taste a couple of pinot grigio's very soon Terrazzo,Lechthaler and Bertani.. So i will let ya know...

QOTD2 - My favorite Pinot Gris is the Trimbach Reserve Pinot Gris from Alsace.

Qotd: Maybe. Road Trip?

SQotd: (superflorous question of the day) Don't have one. Yet.

QOTD 1: My company has a client going live with Great Plains on April 1st. As such I regret to inform you that I do not plan on attending the Thunder Party on March 29th.

QOTD 2: I have only tried 3 PG's but of those 3 I would say I liked the 2006 Stellina di Notte the best.

Great show and interesting colors to the wine.

QOTD 1: sorry, not giving up skiing utah. will be a blast

QOTD 2: Barmes-Beucher Silicis Pinot Gris - the intensity and depth of the floral aromas were fantastic and were backed backed solid granite stone.

Gary, great episode and you anwered my question about Grigio and Gris. I received a set of the Eisch wine glasses for Christmas, I love them!!!
QOTD 1- Unfortunately I will not be there next month
QOTD 2- I haven't found a favorite yet, I keep trying them but my Pal doesn't like them.

Great show! And we had Lionel Kiddie City here in Ohio as well.

QOTD1: Darn it, but I'll be flying to Geneva, Switzerland that day so, no, I cannot be there. Darn it!!!!

QOTD2: I'm not a big Pinto Gris/Grigio fan to date. I had a 2006 Masa Canali Pinot Grigio that was pretty decent, though.

QOTD1: Nope still working in the Burgundy at that point.

QOTD2: Had an amazing PG from Italy but forgot the name. I saved the cork and it is back at my house in the good ole US of A

used to go to lionel kiddie city all the time growing up in philly.

great show gary

Gary good episode i am just catching up on them.

QOTD:
-No i cant make it i will be on vacation in Mexico :(
