Oh yeah the King Estate Pinot Gris

Heck, we probably harbor a lot of international felons around here - wine felons, that is. Right now, I'm storing about 10 cases of wine for a friend, who is building a house and cellar. I know that three of these were shipped to the US from IT and skirted all distributors. I do not know how duty was handled, but the great state of AZ would probably mess in their drawers if they knew of this contraband. OTOH, some of my wine has been shipped to me from places forbidden to ship to AZ without the hierarchy of the state govdistributors (actually, these are enbreasties joined at the hip - you know the hip where one keeps their wallet?), but little flights of subrtafuge, like me standing at their counter and arranging for wine that I own to be shipped to me in AZ. There the winery just acts as a middle-man, contracting with a drayage firm to help me move my wine from CA to AZ.

If you do show up, you'll get to see saguaros by the truckload, but you CAN'T

I'll try and make sure that I have some of the Reserve PG from King Estate, and we'll see if you appreciate this version, as much as I do. I'm sure that there are other PG's out there that are great, but my experiences have not uncovered them. It is the same with the wines of Chile. I feel certain that good ones exist, but I've only found one that I'd buy, or buy again. I do not seek them out, as I have had so many bottles that just do not "do it" for me. However, friends and retailers have taken up the Holy Grail of finding one that I will love. Most are handed to me, free of charge, with the words, "Oh, I'm sure that this will be the ONE."
