I will definitely be at the library on 3/29 GV. Should be good times.

Favorite pinot grigio that I had recently was the Borgo Tesis that I actually picked up from WL.

Sorry, actually, very sorry to miss the 29th, but I will be out of the country.

QOTD: Nedster919 and I are coming from Boston for Ye Olde Thunder Partay.

@Kathleen Lisson: We need to hang out.

Other QOTD: Sparr Pinot G from the Alsace.

You say that Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are the same, but Pinot Gris is normally considered heavier.

This is like saying that Germany is the same country as Deutschland, but Germany is normally considered larger.

English and the language of the wine world are the same, but English is normally considered more meaningful. And for good reason, apparently!

I’m not willing to develop a favorite PG until there’s a consensus on whether it’s one thing or two.

I’m enjoying this battle week….great idea!

QOTD1: Bad timing….I WISH I could be there on the 29th but I’ll be in Spain! If you ever do another one, I will definitely make the trip!

QOTD2: Felluga Pinot Grigio….discovered it at a tasting of 40+ pinot grigios about 7 years ago….it was the best one we tasted!

I can’t wait to make my first trip to WLTV. See you on the 29th 🙂

QOTD1: Sorry, plan to be enroute to AZ to visit my snowbird bro (not BruciePurpleJuice).

QOTD2: Quite a few friends having a love affair with PG, so it’s another white wine where I’m looking for one that rocks my boat. Many recommends, but still looking.

BTW, don’t know where the “gray pine cone” comes from, but a local winery that specializes in pinot Gris claims it’s Gray Monk, from the Austrian: http://www.graymonk.com/winery01.html

mmmmmmmm…sheeps butt!

Yo Gary – so bummed I can’t come from cali to the mecca that is wine library on the 29th, hopefully next time – oh not much into pinot gris/grigio not really for my pal

QOTD:The wife and I will be driving up from Portsmouth,VA and staying at the Hilton Short Hills. Would definately like to be included in the hundred from 3-5. Had a good Pinot Gris a few weeks ago but forgot the name. Looking forward to meeting the telephone and shipping I deal with every week. Jerry the 2thdr.

Seven Hills Pinot Gris

I will be there, coming from DC.

I am a big fan of Alto-Adige PGs, especially some of the offerings from Alois Lageder.

I thought we scolded you enough on the last Oregon wine but guess you are a slow learner. Have to admit you got it right 50% today.
#1- Sorry won’t make it for 3/29. Too far from San Diego
#2- Haven’t had many Pinot Gris but the one I like the best is J Wine from the Russian River.

Hi Gary,
I can’t make it on 3/29, but will try to see you in April at Taste of Washington.

Pinot Gris is not for me…I enjoyed the show, anyway!

QOTD1: Definitely planning on being in the WL hizzy- and hoping to bring the brother-in-law with the fancy cellar…

Great episode GV! I’ll be there for sure!

sorry my vacation is gone on future trips to japan. Plus Maui is pretty darn far.

I do not drink Pinot Gris or Grigio never cared for it.

Great Show!!!

Hope your week of traveling is going well.

QOTD 1: If one week earlier, I would have made the trip up from Houston during my spring break, but unfortunately, I can’t afford to take time off that weekend for travel.

QOTD 2: I dont usually drink Pinot Gris/Grigio. The only one I’ve had is the Santa Margharita Pinot Grigio, which was far from anything close to being good. Just not my style. I prefer a sancerre or viogner if I’m going to drink a white wine.

–RH

QOTD 1 – 29/3 is a long way to fly from Cyprus, so unfortunately, no 🙁

QOTD 2 – Never had a Pinot Gris – gotta try one though seeing as I am trying white whites more now

I am planning on being there 3/29.

QOTD – Haven’t had many PGs, but I know it aint Santa Margharita, which sucks. Believe it or not, I really enjoyed a 1.5L of Cavit late one night with friends after a wine tasting. Liked it so much that I went overboard and puked like a teenager later that morning.

Q1: Not going to make from Arizona.

Q2: I’ve only tried 2 PG’s, both from Italy, received both as gifts, thought they were like watered down Chards, not at all impressed. I’d be willing to try the ones you reviewed though.

1. I’m in Idaho. so…..
2. Best PG I’ve had recently was a fancy Zind Humbrecht which I can’t remember the name of. Ungodly color and concentration. A revelation.
