Qotd:Can’t pick 1 but the Lucien Albrecht Cuvee romanus is a helluva QPR. I’d pay double the price for it

    Fav Pinot Gris waas the 2003 Mambourg Pinot Gris by Pierre Sparr. Had this on my 12th anniversary at a great little restaurant and it went very well with the 6 course meal we had. Very versatile. Great show… love the battles. I’m usually a lurker but I’ll try and leave more comments.

    QOTD: Lemelson Tikka’s Run 2006 (Oregon). I think I’ve commented about this wine 3 or 4 times now, it’s fantastic and completely changed my whole outlook on the grape.

  • The Lis Neris was described as having “laser sharp acidity” and “roundness”?

    QOTD: Alsatian Pinot Gris is pretty much the best for me… although the Neusiedlersee-Hügelland Grauburgunder from Austria was awfully nice. I’d like to try more Pinot Gris from Oregon.

    Well, I guess it’s Pinot Gris for Thirsty Thursday night. I can’t remember if I ever did have one…

  • I’ve had a Grigio but not a Gris. At least that I know of, since, I didn’t realize there was a distinction. Very informative.

    QOTD – Trimbach Reserve Pinot Gris from the Alsace (2004 or 2005…I can’t remember which). Very, very good PG.

    I have to go with the Trimbach as well as they are always my favorite Pinot Gris.

  • Dr T from N. Carolina

    I’ve only had a few Pinot Gris, and didn’t care for them.As for the Pinot Grigio, I’ve only had the inexpensive super market versions (Bolla, Bella etc.), inoffensive but hardly special. I’ll go with Bolla, in memory of the sting ray and leek soup it accompanied, made by my wife (and the sting ray caught by my father-in-law on his second trip to the US)

    QOTD: I’ve enjoyed many Pinot Gris wines over the years. I don’t have a favorite. Sorry. I’ve had plenty from Alsace, CA, and OR. I traveled on Route Du Vin in Alsace and enjoyed the heck out of it.

    Long time lurker here. You finally coaxed me into posting…actually, I just, finally, got off my lazy butt and decided to do it. Anyway, my wife and I “found” wine a couple of years ago and we absolutely love it. We’re big into trying different wines, and so I like to make up some theme when I go to the local shop. I’ll try three bottles from Bordeaux, or three Rieslings, or three under $10…you get the idea. We’re really enjoying it. I love the show, you do great work…very entertaing and at the same time informative. Keep it up.

    QOTD – We tried one bottle of Pinot Gris and I am 95% sure it was corked…it was horrible. The other 5% lies in the fact that it was kind of early in our wine “career” and my palatte may have just been that far off. Either way, it was bad enough that I have shied away from trying another one.

    QOTD: Don’t remember having one recently.
