QOTD- Never had a good Pinot Gris………..but…..as your wrist band got a complete work out from your dribbling these two apparently fine wines, maby I have found one. Time will tell. Nice head to head Gary.

Old Jim Stock-aka the Haw River Wine man introduced me to Lis Neris, back in the day. Thanks Jim.

QOTD: Jermann P/G, and Zind Humbrecht ofcourse. Also the higher level Lis Neris-Gris??-has always been popular with me.

QOTD: Can’t recall the last Pinot Gris or Grigio that I’ve had. I’m headed to Oreg(un), not (on), in June and will def check out the pinot gris. Nice battle.

New to this wine thing but have been lurking for a week and feeling guilty. Last time I had wine was on a cruise 6 weeks ago but would like to try some more, enjoyed a fume blanc then and also a sangiovese wine, first two bottles of wine consumed ever. I need to find some wines my wife would enjoy as she has had no experience with wine or other drinks. Again, I enjoy your show, wish you could ship to Minnesota.

The best Pinot Gris I have ever tasted is the 2006 Del Rio Vineyard’s Pinot Gris. It emphasizes ripe tropical and citrus fruit qualities and juicy, mouthwatering freshness.

By the way you keep mispronouncing Oregon. Say it like this: ORYGUN

QOTD – Never had a pinot gris, but I don’t think I’ve seen them at the liquor stores here…they probably do have them, but they’ve never stuck out.

I remember a Pinot Gris from a small Alsatian winery caled Ziegler…

Best has been Santa Margherita but not worth the price.

Hope you are enjoying your vacay, GV!

QOTD: MMM, not much of a pinot gris fan. Only tried a few though, but those did not really seem to offer anything.

QOTD: 2006 Handley Pinot Gris, but I have not yet had many of those high end Alsatian Pinot Gris that roll into the $ hundreds.

QOTD: I’ve had Pinot Gris before, but none that stand out in my memory, though.

On a different note, had some very spicy Indian curry the other night with a Gewurtztraminer on your recommendation–it was awesome! I’ll have to try the Pinot Gris again with spicy food to see if it works out, too.
