	North American Pinot Noir: Chapter One
		Pinot gris and pinot blanc, the red-grayish and green-yellowish versions of pinot, are generally grown as distinct varieties, but their DNA profiles are genetically indistinguishable from pinot noir, and they almost certainly originated as spontaneous field mutations from red-berried vines.
		Pinot noir is the fourth most planted variety in Germany (after riesling, Müller-Thurgau, and sylvaner), mostly in Baden, but also in the Pfalz and the Rheingau, and in pockets like Assmannshausen and the Ahr, near Bonn, where it has been a specialty for a century.
		Although genuinely pathological disparities of opinion about pinot are less common today than they were 20 years ago, wine juries are rarely unanimous in their assessments of pinot noir, winemakers themselves often disagree on qualitative issues, and individual wines are still rewarded, in the same tasting, with both rave reviews and punishing scores.

	Pinot Grigio and Other Italian Whites, on StarChefs
		Their Pinot Grigio, made under the Colli Orientali del Friuli DOC, was one of the first Italian Pinot Grigios I encountered that really got my attention.
		His 2003 Pinot Grigio is characterized by spicy and flowery aromas, a creamy texture, and a touch of smokiness; traits that echo some aspects of the Alsace style of Pinot Gris, but with a crispness, especially on the finish, that confirms its Italian identity.
		Their 2003 Pinot Grigio is relatively full-bodied, with pineapple, white peach, and mineral elements predominating, supported by orange blossom and lemon aromas.

	Pinot Noir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pinot noir is a variety of Vitis vinifera, the red grape used commonly in winemaking, and may also refer to wines produced predominantly from pinot noir grapes.
		Pinot noir grapes are grown in diverse locations around the world, but the grape is chiefly associated with the Burgundy region of France.
		Pinot noir is also grown in California, though the quality of the resulting wine is considered less consistent than the product of Oregon; it is thought that the reason for this is that Oregon's somewhat less ideal climate is more suited to producing high-quality pinot noir.

	Enjoy endless summer with a lush, silky white - Wine - MSNBC.com
		If pinot grigio is usually peppy and light, with a clean, straightforward demeanor, good pinot gris is lush and perfumed, made to evolve with age and marked, hopefully, by just the slightest touch of sweetness.
		Quality or no, pinot gris has little of the name recognition of its Italian cousin, which is why many marketing-minded West Coast wineries have slapped a “grigio” suffix on their wines and pumped them out the door as a domestic facsimile for the European stuff.
		Pinot gris is one of those grapes that has avoided the chardonnay frenzy of higher prices; all the better to enjoy its relative lack of trendiness.

		On average, pinot grigio is reliably light, crisp, delicate, with mild citrus flavors.

		U.S. imports of pinot grigio from Italy went up by more than half to 6 million cases a year between 2001 and 2003, making it the best-selling import in the country, according to the trade publication Impact Databank.

		Relatively obscure as recently as the 1990s, pinot grigio is now a contender each year for the title of leading imported varietal white wine in the United States.

		To her, it seemed to have a bit more of the funkiness pinot noir is supposed to have, although it was clearly not an expensive wine.

		He comments that the pinot has "a nose of exotic spice" and is "wonderfully creamy across the palate while continuing to display impeccable balance." It's forward now, Minervino says, but worthy of three to five years' aging.
