If you like that, also try Helioterra Pinot Gris. If you can find it.
I met the woman who makes it (Anne Hubatch) prior to tasting the wine. I asked her which hers emulated, the tasteless Italian plonk, the California sweet and fruity or the Alsatian bold and full of character. She smiled and bounced right back at me.
"Neither. Think Northern Italian."
I tasted her wine. She was right. Northern Italian-ate. Crisp and bright and lovely. Been a fan of it ever since.

Hoke, I might get smacked down for this, but have you ever had a Stone Wolf pinot gris. It's made by our own Linda Lindsay. Her 2007 which she hand bottle and brought to Mo'Cool for me remains to this day the best USA PG in my experience. It also won some really big west coast awards. 2009 I believe was the last vintage I have had, so I guess I should contact her for replenishment.
