($28, Wilson Daniels): With this Pinot Gris, Kumeu River, justifiably known for their fantastic line-up of Chardonnay, shows they know how to transform other varieties into top-notch wine.  It’s a unique Pinot Gris, falling somewhere between the lighter styled Italian version and the heavy ones from Alsace.  Firm crispness and a subtle bite balance its gorgeous texture.  Racy and elegant, it’s a delight.
