QOTD: The best Pinot Grigio..Barefoot (non-vintage). Best value, not best quality. A $12 wine sold for $6. Has some of that Bannanas Foster.

qotd – paul blanck from alsace, jos myer, and trimback peronal reserve, baby!

I love the head to head shows!
qotd: A WA State Pinot Gris has been my favorite to date. I love Alsatian wines…rieslings, gewurztraminer and the blends…but cannot think of a Pinot Gris that stands out for me. But will do some more exploring 🙂 Cheers

QOTD: I’ve never had pinot gris before, but I have had pinot grigio a couple times. They were mostly your average pinot grigio, but not poorly made either. I can’t remember the producers off the top of my head, mostly because they didn’t surprise me, but they were solid-effort type wines.

Great head to head!

QOTD: I haven’t drank that much pinot gris/pinot grigio, but I do like the 2006 J Pinot Gris.

great battle, and nicely done show. if aj was there you should have gotten him to say hi or taste some wine!

QOTD: My favorite Pinot Gris is from Handley in Anderson Valley. It is definitely more a the fruit forward style, but still nice acidity, and just so freakin easy to drink.

Eola Hills is my most recent favorite Pinot Gris, although I really liked King Estate. Both Oregon, of course.

QOTD: I have to say the Trimbach Pinot Gris is quite delicious

Can’t say I have had one in recent memory Gary! Good head-to-head today.

Yes, the white wine weather is fast approaching for some, but I’ll stick to red, maybe I’ll just knock it down a notch to Pinot Noir…

Can’t say I remember having a Pinot Gris… I guess if it was that long ago and/or not worth remembering I’ll have to count it as not having had one. Sorry to say!

QOTD: I had a 2000 Trimbach Pinot Gris that was outstanding.

Pinot Gris Princes Abbés 2004 from Schlumberger. An absolutely top place to visit if you’re doing a wine tour of Alsace. Nice website too.

Zind Humbrecht Pinot Gris (I forget the vintage, like I always do!). Amazing wine though, talk about residual sugar. Probably in the top ten wines I’ve ever tasted, red and white.

QOTD: I’ve never had a Pinot Gris. I think I had a sip of an Italian Pinot Grigio, but it was probably crap.

Hi Dave,

I just recently discovered your show and I love it. I am one of these lurkers you sometimes talk about but I am trying to catch up to your shows *470+*!! Wow! Someday I watch 2-3, some days none. Anyhow – more to the point, I never had a Pinot Grigio before but I am planning on trying one in the next few days. We drink a lot of wine at home but mostly red since it is what we prefer. One small request Dave: what do you think about home wine making in general and using kits in particular? I realise they are not that good for your business but beyond that? If there is anything to say about it, it would be nice if you could do a show on this at some point. I recently started making some and I actually have a few batches going, none of which is yet ready to drink but we’ll see… Great show Dave – keep’em coming.

Too my knowledge, I have never had Pinot Gris. Still kind of a noob to the whole thing.
I did have a Pinot Grigiot though. Three Blind Moose; I really did not like it.

Never had a Pinot Gris. Product is sold out? wanted to get the 2004 Binner.

Can’t remember the varietal, but it was definitely an Alsace – my dad is huge into Alsace and I can see why – very neat style there…

2005 Four Graces

QOTD: Never had one…but open to try

Having my first Pinot Grigio as I type. The VOGA Italia. Comes in a bottle with a plastic cap that goes over the neck, which makes it look like a huge bottle of perfume.

Little frazzante, green apples from start to finish.

never have….

Hard to pick ever, but the Borgio Tesis I bought from WL was pretty good.

One letter says it all…J. Nothing more needs to be said. Keep it going.
