Hell yeah I remember Kiddie City, and it wasn’t just in Jersey, I had one near me in Baltimore growin up. It definitely beat toy-r-us.

I’ve had a pinot gris ROSE from Reuilly in Loire. Had a gelatin thing going on in the nose. Neat to try, but I wouldn’t buy it.

qotd1:Unless Doc Brown returns my call, I doubt I’ll be able to make it
qotd2: had a lucien albrecht cuvee romanus 2005 that brought serious q.p.r.

    2 consecutive top 10’s. I should really get some work done.

    QOTD 1 – Can’t make it, but look forward to the pics.

    QOTD 2 – Don’t really have a favorite. Although, I know it is not Santa Margherita.

    Unfortunately no I will not be there. To be quite honest, I don’t remember when I did have a pinot gris, lol. Have a nice day 🙂

    QOTD: I would like to make it to the Dirty Jerz on March 29th, as it’s my birthday and I can think of no more fun place to celebrate my 29th b-day. But the girlfriend doesnt want to make the trek all the way from Wyoming to the winelib. GV, I’m tellin’ ya brother, I would LOVE to be there. Best.

  • Good show, Gary.

    QOTD #1: Nope. Maybe the next time you do something in the Napa/Sonoma/SF area…

    QOTD #2: Year after year it is the WillaKenzie Estate Pinot Gris. I don’t know how these guys do it, but their consistency is amazing.

    Woooo top 20. Will answer QOTD later. (I don’t even watch Chardonnay-only episodes).

    QOTD — Will do my best to be there, but like I said in my email, I’m really worried about parking!

    Why only head to head? Why not California PG and French (Alsatian?) PG as well? I love that you’re doing the cross-terroir, but branch out a little bit more!

    BTW — are these the Eisch “breatheable” glasses?

    No show, no chance. No Pinot G either. I am going to have a Blanco Nieva Sauvignon tonight though.

    You need to spread your wings and establish the West Coast Wine Library here in SoCal. The LA wine scene needs a New Jersey presence. Can’t make the trek on 29th. Wish I could.

    I second the concerns about parking for this big bash, but I am certainly going to try to be there!

    I’ve had a few pinot gris from Oregon, and I liked them all. I haven’t had a pinot grigio in a long time, and I think the ones I’ve had were kinda lousy. I’ll have to try some again sometime.

    QOTD1: Hell, Yes! I already left you a comment on your Facebook wall saying I’m coming! My wife and I will be coming with another couple Vayniacs. We’re driving about 2 hours. I hope we can get in on the second part of the day. 😉

    QOTD2: I have yet to find a Pinot Gris that really wows me. I found Corte Pitora to be a decent QPR.
