QOTD: While on business in Baltimore 10+ years ago I had a fabulous meal in a little restaurant in their “Little Italy.” I had an absolutely great bottle of Italian Pinot Grigio. Unfortunately I do not remember the Label and I have yet to find one as good (as my memory).

Favorite Pinot Gris: 2005 The Four Graces, Oregon

I really loved the ’04 Marco Felluga Pinot Grigio.
The ’05 was almost as good, but the ’06 was a bit overripe
and clunky.

Its always dangerous to speak in superlatives, but the 1989 Zind Humbrecht Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl Vendange Tardive is far and away the best PG I have ever had. No surprise coming from one of the greatest winemakers living and a fabulous vineyard. BTW all of the 2005 ZH Pinot Gris are terrific.

I just LOVE the head to heads!
I have been enamored with Vino for the past few years and am only starting to feel a little comfortable with my wine tasting and evaluating. These episodes help me fine tune my nose and palate much better. That’s why you are the best at what you do, you know your audience.
Be blessed Brother!

All time favortie handsdown Domaine Alfred, just brilliant for an everyday favorite Montinore Estate. Both are Biodynamic too!

Never had a Pinot Gris.

One more I cannot believe I had left out was from Alsace; the Donines Schlumberger Pinot Gris ‘Les Princes Abbes’, also biodynamic. they are so cool they still farm with horses and hands only! Ronck on Gary V enjoy the downtime; its much deserved!

Great show
I’ve only been enjoying wine for about 8 months now
and I’ve never tried a Pinot Gris.

QOTD: I have never tried a Pinot.

GV – Hope all is well! QOTD – A PG from Hugel

My favorite Pinot Gris is 2005 Domaine Alfred, also just had Johan Vineyards 2007 Pinot Gris and it is loaded with citrus, pears and tons of acidity.

QOTD: Elk Cove 2006 Pinot gris. rock star quality from one of my favorite Williamette Valley big names. the 05 was great to and so is the new 07.

Never had a p gris but the education shall make my pal seek this out

QOTD: Best PG? Never had. All were like cheap, sour, drink along wines. I mean, they did not add to the food but were better alternatives to beer…. 🙁

Best one I’ve had so far – Goose Bay Pinot Gris 07 from new Zealand – and its even kosher! The QPR might be a little tough at around $23, but it’s a very good wine.

Good show.

QOTD: Tried the 2006 Nec-otium Pinot Grigio once. Didn’t like it .

QOTD: I don’t know if I have ever had a Pinot Gris but I like Cavit Pinot Grigio

I think the best I’ve had was an ’05 Weinbach. Not sure on the spelling there or which it was if there’s more than one. Are you thinking of Bananas Foster? Great fried banana dessert.

QOTD: Have had a bunch, even many good ones, but haven’t yet had one that stands out as “the best ever”.

Might pick up that Italian one from this show. Sounds decent.

i have only sampled a pinot gris but never had a full glass. It was at feilding estates winery in ontario canada. Jordan area right by Niagara on the lake.

QOTD: I have a few on deck and will let you know.

qotd-a couple of great Oregon Pinot Gris- Capitello and Lumos both make very exciting, clean PG’s. Perfect on warm summer days. I’ve also had some really great Alsatian PGs lately. Can’t remember the producers. Fantastic stuff!

A DRAW …WAW,BUT TO BE HONEST GARY I THINK THAT YOU WERE FAIR ,BUT ANYWAY TO ANSWEAR THE QUESTION OF THE DAY ,THE BEST PINOT GRIS I’VE HAD IS THE TRIMBACH FROM THE ALSACE ,AND ALSO ENJOY ITALIAN PINOT GRIGIO VS DOMESTIC ONES JUST BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THEY’RE DRYER ,BUT I GOT TO TELL YOU THAT I HAVE A WEAKENESS FOR THE KING STATE PINOT GRIS FROM OREGAN .
