Pinot Gris
Owen Roe 2004 Pinot Gris
- $20
Exceptionally lush and ripe, this broadly tropical Pinot Gris oozes with papaya, mango, banana and mashed pear flavors. Exotic, soft and totally plush, it’s like sinking into the most comfortable chair on the planet.

O'Reilly's 2004 Pinot Gris
- Best Buy
- $12
This spicy, fresh and citrus-flavored wine is at the opposite end of the spectrum from winemaker David O’Reilly’s Owen Roe Pinot Gris. But it’s just as good, and perhaps more flexible as far as matching food. Finishes with crisp, leesy, mineral flavors.

King Estate 2004 Vin Glace Pinot Gris
- $18
Straightforward but hedonistic, with pure yet mature apricot and nectarine aromas flowing on an unctuous, fully ripe bouquet. Candied apple, orange and apricot flavors are committed and easy to grasp; really focuses on freshness and acidity more than complexity.

Lucien Albrecht 2001 Sélection de Grains Nobles Pinot Gris
- Cellar Selection
- $65
When it is this sweet, Pinot Gris loses some of its spicy character, adds acidity and becomes a delicious, sweet wine. But the richness of the grape stays, and this wine is intense and concentrated, with noble rot to add complexity to the sweetness. It will develop for another 10 years at least. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.

Josmeyer 2002 Fondation Pinot Gris
- $68
Here is a finely balanced wine, poised between elegance and power. It is dry, concentrated with some toastiness, but more importantly it brings together ripe fruits, flavors of spices, nutmeg and cilantro. Imported by Paterno Wines International.

Lucien Albrecht 2001 Vendanges Tardives Pinot Gris
- $53
Concentrated honey and lemon flavors mark this ripe, rich, sweet wine. There is some botrytis, giving a fine structure to the wine. It is just beginning to mature, but should continue to develop over the next 4–5 years. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports.

Bründlmayer 2003 Langenloiser Spiegel Grau und Weissburgunder Pinot Gris (Kamptal)
A blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, this rich, complex wine brings out the best in both grapes. The fruit and the green flavors of the Blanc combine with the spice of the Gris to give a rich, deep, satisfying wine that has a fresh, but mature aftertaste. Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines.
