I like this better than Santa Margharita Pinot Grigio... which amazes me.
Not smoked.. I prefer a smoked with a port or my homemade glug in the wintertime.

Tell me..if I may be so bold.. Sue,
Do you find, as a rule, Pinot Gris' to be more full-bodied than Pinot Grigios?
My wife and I are currently discussing this issue.
We both love wines but are relatively ignorant regarding these styles.

I found the King Estates to be lighter and more crisp (almost fresh apple crisp and clean) than the Santa Margarita Pinot Grigio. But King Estates will vary quite a bit from year to year.. I have been let down by them and gotten yellower pinot gris' that were not as crisp. Once I started drinking the pinot grigio's it became the only white wine I drink anymore, nothing else tastes as good to me.
I drink white in the summer and red in the winter. One of the best bottles of Pinot Grigio I have ever had I made myself from a kit. It ran me about $3 a bottle to make and was incredible. I was amazed, especially as this was the first kit wine I ever made.

Figs and Point Reyes Blue Cheese. Mmmm mmmm mmm.. That and whatever bottle happens to be open at the time.

fresh or dried figs?
Fresh and ripe, maybe smushed on a slice of crusty baguette.

Kyle, my friend...
Your family wouldnt recognize the place today.
I'll take some pix and send them to you if you'd like...for reference to the old days.
I left San Bernardino 20 years ago and said I would NEVER return...
When considering what to be when I grew up I said I didnt know but that I would NEVER join the military or work for a railroad...
When I divorced my 1st wife I said I would NEVER marry again..
Well.
After 6 years in the Navy, I got a job with Amtrak and then divorced.
Remarried and moved to Yucaipa with my Lovie and our 6 1/2 yr old daughter.
NEVER say "NEVER" ..I tell you.

Try ANYTHING from Zind-Humbrecht. Especially a Gewurtz.
Best wine deal of my life (admittedly my wine buying career is short), was scoring a bunch of bottles of various Zind-Humbrecht gewurtzes for $19-$22 a bottle....
Just as an FYI to any of you Houston members (or visitors):
This weekend is the Spec's Wine and Cheese event at their huge downtown store!

Kyle, my wife and I try to get to Napa/Sonoma once a year. I'll send you a PM next trip we plan.
I love my cheese but haven't drunk much wine for years.
A really mature stilton or a good ripe Camembert are my favourites though the smell of the camembert can knock the birds out of the trees!
Combine with a good bitter such as Freeminers Strip'n'at it, or even Hopback's Summer Lightning. Heaven.

Can't go wrong with a Blue and Port. Pt. Reyes Blue is my favorite but substitute what you like. I like using blue with fruits as a dessert, whether it be with grilled peaches drizzled in honey or with zin or port poached pears..both very easy.
If you don't like blues, then sparkling wines with a brie or camembert is nice...
