I got 6 bottles of this Pinot Gris from wine.woot.com a few months back. It’s from Hood River, OR, which is within an hour of my house. It’s a decent white wine. Not too complex and not quite enough acid for me, but enough to go with the Indian lamb curry we had tonight. It had a nice little hint of honeydew melon on the nose. The oak was a hair strong for me, but with the food it was perfect. I’m hoping to get up to the winery this summer, since it’s such an easy drive up the Columbia Gorge. I give it an 85.5.

2007 Domaine de la Pepiere Muscadet Sevre et Maine
This wine is the little brother of the Clos les Briords. And, I must say, it is a great little brother. It is certainly a simpler wine, but still very nice. Crisp and light, with great acid. The nose was pretty light, with maybe a little hint of licorice, which was pleasant, once I found it. The finish was long and tasted nicely of grapefruit. All in all, for $12, a great little white. I’m planning on doing a side-by-side with the two of them soon. Watch this space!
