QOTD: I have never had a Pinot Gris. I have had wines labeled Pinot Griggio, but not the Gris.

QotD: I have one, but I don’t remember the name. Is that bad?

QOTD: Pinot gris/grigio are low on my list of wines to try. I did have one I liked once though. Went to a wine tasting this afternoon and ran into Scott of Gruet. He really wants to talk to you about that misunderstanding some of your young Vayniacs had at the Gruet Winery. He’s taking it very seriously. He e-mailed you but all he got back was a bunch of videos.

The Mad Money – Jim Cramer episode was fun. He must have been your older brother in a previous life.

Haven’t had a pinot gris in a long time. It could have been the Wilm or a Zind Humbrecht.

i have actually never had a pinot gris, but several times had pinot grigio. tomorrow night i plan on getting a mixed case, so we’ll see if my wine shop has a decent one in stock that i should try.

QOTD: Haven’t had too many, but the Esca 2006 Pinot Grigio is the best one of that variety that I can remember. I’ve had some really lame, flavorless, watery Italian Pinot Grigios but those were by the glass in restaurants that didn’t have much to offer. Oh, and Santa Margarita, which was pretty lame too.

I have not had a pinot gris-quite a few pinot grigio. I usally choose red but I will look for these and try my own taste challenge!

QOTD: Trimbach is a good go to Pinot Gris. I also really like A to Z from Oregon. Duck Pond can be good (the current vintage (06)is a little hot though). I had an amazing one from Germany once…can’t remember the producer though.

QOTD: ive only had one

I really enjoyed this format.

QOTD – The only (and so by default the best) PG I have had is the 2005 Waterstone Carneros Pinot Grigio. I enjoyed it but was not overwhelming in my opinion.

I have never had a Pinot Gri. I have been very locked in on reds though trying a lot of new stuff. Just haven’t gotten to the whites yet.

No, never had a Pinot Gri. Isn’t Pinot Gri called Grauburgunder in Germany?
