Tokay Pinot Gris

[Thomas]

wineguru,

The books refer to the Tokay D'Alsace which has been renamed Tokay Pinot Gris in preparartion for dropping the Tokay altogether, and then it will be referred to as Pinot Gris, which is already hitting the market.

I have had numerous Tokay D'Alsace that were not necessarily botrytis wines. I don't think it is a requirement for production. If not, you would have to ask about or know the specific product. probably best you pick something else.

Go for the Tocai Friuliano, which some believe is the same grape (furmint ) that makes the great Hungarian wines, and even in Hungary they produce a dry version which I love. In Italy, it is an aromatic dry white.
