Sad to say…but I have never ventured in to the realm of Pinot Gris. How lame am I?

I’ve never had a Pinot Gris, but leaving a comment to hear what’s later.

river route 2004 pinot gris

QOTD: I hosted a white Italian wine tasting at my house a long time ago that included several Pinot Grigios. I wasn’t that impressed with them, so I haven’t been back to try PG again. Yes, I know the mantra, that I need to keep trying them. Your descriptions of the two on the table today made me want to go back and try some.

We still don’t know what was in the pumpkin.

QOTD: Van Duzer (sp?)

Never had a Pinot Gris. I’m looking forward to trying one, though.

Also, Gary, I really like that the head-to-heads let you drop a little knowledge about a specific kind of wine. It’s nice to get some knowledge along with the entertainment. Thanks.

QOTD: Fielding Estate Pinot Gris (Ontario, Canada)

Never had a pinot gris.

QOTD: Had mostly California Pinot Gris, and overall thought they were half-pregnant chards (Dry Valley Vineyards, Luna, etc). Can’t remember the last Italian Pinot Grigio I’ve had, and I’m DYING to try an Alsacian one after seeing your reaction to the Binner. Heck, I just flat out need to try a boatload of French wine this summer. You should do an episode with a dozen summertime French picks. That would be awesome!!!!

QOTD: Can’t remember. But the wife only drinks Pinot Grigio and Pinot Gris. Why? No idea! Please try something new for God’s sake!

I cannot recall ever having a Pinot Gris.

I love trimbach Pinot Gris. Very crisp, easy to drink, nice balance…
Had Devinci Pinot Grigio as yesterday and was very surprised how much I liked it, pear and apple flavors, very simular to a New Zealand Sau. Blanc.

Breggo Pino Gris…..delicious

QOTD: I have not tried a Pinot Gris before. Def will try one tho!

Love the head to head!!!

QOTD: Haven’t really had a Pinot Grigio but I do love the Pino + Toi from Maculan-all because you showcased a Tocai Fruilano and I wanted to seek it out! Especially on a warm summer day! Will pick one up this weekend for the holiday!

Enjoy your life!!

Nice show Gary!! Hope the vacation was resting..

QOTD: Never had a Pinot Grigio but if I see one at the store I will try it.

Have had lots of generic Italian Pinot Grigio. Love a number of Oregon Pinot Gris’ and need to check out the Austrian gris’ as well.

Recently had the Elk Cove and enjoyed it. Good everyday drinking wine is the A to Z.

Hey Gary,

Sorry to correct you on this, since you are going to Portland pretty soon, I thought I should mention this to you.

The “gon” in “Oregon” is not pronounced like “gone,” but more like the “gon” in “dragon.”

QOTD: Sineann stands out. Also liked Ponzi–that one being more Viognier-like because of the oilyness and a little heavier like a Chard.

really like the cloudline pinot gris from oregon!

My wife and I really like Pinot Grigio’s but have never had a Pinot Gris.

My parents and sister are coming up for the long weekend and they are sort of wine people (or at least a lot more so than my wife and I) so maybe we will take this opportunity to try a Pinot Gris.

QOTD: Zind Humbrecht

QOTD: Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are in my frig regularly. If I try one that isn’t so good, I make it into a Sangria with a little punch of Triple Sec, Mango rum, and fruit. hmm.

Good show, Gary and Mott. You’ve had like 4 good shows in a row! Whazzupwidat?
