The Ned Marisco Vineyards Ltd. Pinot Gris 2011, Waihopal River, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: Love it! I find many pinot gris boring, but this is spectacularly interesting. Glorious notes of white peach and Asian pear, with a lovely salmon hue. Perfect aperitif or companion to seafood, salads and roast chicken.

Van Ruiten Old Vine Zinfandel 2009, Lodi, California, United States: Love it! Concentrated and complex from the old vine intensity on the grapes. Balanced and juicy yet a lot more dimension than most zins. Try this and you'll love zin. Superb! Drink: 2012-2016. 58685 14% D 750 mL $23.95 Score: 93/100. June 9, 2012
