I have never had a Pinot Gris!

New to this whole deal…

Yo Gee, “my friend”, nice episode !!

qotd: i’ve had Adelsheim, Navarro, Mueller, to name a few on da domestic
side & Zind-Humbrect, Albert Mann, Trimbach, etc. from Alsace……..
But none of ’em have “changed my life”……… Those one’s Ya got in da
Hizzy look worth a try!!

Great head-to-header! QOTD: The most interesting Pinot Gris I tried was the Nobilo Icon, Marlborough NZ–it was almost peachy-orange in color, with a honey, floral nose-more like an Alsatian but with a wierd little acidic zap.

I honestly don’t think I have ever tried a pinot gris? I finally decided to start trying more white wines lately, so i guarantee next wine stop i make i’ll picking up one of these bottles!

Hubert beck pinot gris! from alsace! taste like smokey woods to me!
GW you honesty make my life worth living.

Very good head to head contest.

QOTD: My all time hands down favorite is the King Estate “Domaine” Pinot Gris (from Oregon). Well worth the few extra bones over the regular bottling and it’s Organicly grown to boot.

QOTD:JEAN LUC MEYER, VIEILLES VIGNES, TOKAY-PINOT GRIS 2005, ALSACE.

I like the Stellina di Notte (about $10 in Central Cali)…tastes like Santa Margarita which is overpriced at $20-$25.

QOTD: I’ve never had one (or at least I don’t remember having one) but I think that it could be something that I like..

The Pinot which brought Thunder to my palette was :
Chateau Diana Pinot Grigio with 6% alcohol.

I have not tried a Pinot Gris, but I just bought one from Oregon tonight at Costco!

Love the pinot gris,,,, will be in Italy in Oct and hope to explore and expand the palate!!!!

We had our first pinot gris last weekend. 2000 Trimbach Vendanges Tardives from Alsace. It was mighty delicious, and I was surprised at it’s sweetness. It was a great match for the thai take out we had.

I’ve many pinot grigios, and they have all been sharp and citrus like flavors, much drier than the pinot gris.

I don’t think I have ever had one. I have a tough time drinking white wines because my wife doesn’t/won’t drink them.

I’m wracking my brain but I can’t remember one that i’ve had but I for some reason feel like I did try one awhile ago and it reminded me alot of gewurtztraminer. Great episode, always nice to see both wines bringing the thunder. There seemed to be a long stretch where most of the wines on WLTV ended up sucking. I’ve heard Oregon is a great spot for pinot gris.

Great show! A high-level draw is good though methinks you favored the Binner just a tad. QOTD: Klein aux Vieux Remparts Pinot Gris “Burgreben” — just AOC so not a grand cru, but at 17 bones a pretty good deal because it was outstanding with pork/ginger/cabbage/garlic/tsin-tsin potstickers. We’re also witcha on the “Izzit sweet or not?” thing. It’s not! On the other hand, it does seem just a little sweet, except when it’s not. Cali PG is all sweet, bland, no focus, but thanks to posters for the many Oregon recommendations.

QOTD: SINEANN (Oh yes Oregan) Pinot Gris a show stopper! Please try this FAB PG.

QOTD: I have had plenty of Pinot Gris/Grigio but I couldn’t tell you which one I liked the best. (I haven’t really been keeping track)

I’ve only had a couple P Grigios, both from Italy, both sorta cheap (inexpensive) but I thought they were way too light, almost watered down. I’d like to try the Binner.

QOTD: Nada (Have had a couple glasses but nothing to “write home about” and cannot recall the producer).

GO WINGS!!!

QOTD: nothing special, just stuff from the store

I have not tasted a Pinot Gris (Grigio) but this has peaked my interest.

Qotd: Nothing stands out as the best one, but the Keesha- Hungry Pinot Gris brought smone recent thunder for sure. Gary, just wanted to say that I finally bought the book last night…awesome. The intro made me remember why I got interested in WLTV and really spoke both from, and to, the heart. I stumbled onto WLTV during a difficult time in my life and it has only been a blessing in a myriad of ways. Seriously- Thank you Gary, we are so lucky!

I may or may not have had some but as I drink almost
exclusively red wines I’m not sure…

How can you stand that stench you described on the Lis Neris?
