($16, Palm Bay International): There’s no doubt that the Marlborough name is associated with edgy Sauvignon Blanc.  Peter Yealands’ Pinot Gris shows this New Zealand appellation is not a one-trick pony.  Definitely in the Pinot Gris (as opposed to the lighter Pinot Grigio) style, it delivers richness offset by tingling acidity.  There’s a pear-like quality to its texture that gives it depth and substance.  Pure and clean, it’s easy to recommend with grilled swordfish.
