But before you dig in ... did you know these top 5 fun facts?
* Pronounced: pee-no gree-geo
* This variety was born in Burgundy France (called Pinot Gris) but the Pinot Grigio style most probably originated in Italy.
Pinot Gris wines are generally made from riper grapes exposed to the sun for longer. The resulting Pinot Gris wines are fuller-bodied, drier, and richer, and they feature more notes of tropical fruits than their Italian Grigio cousins.
* Pinot Grigio is not made from white wine grapes! 'Gris' or 'grigio' refers to the 'gray' or 'grayish-blue' shade of the berries
* The largest plantings of pinot gris are not found in France or Italy but in Germany
* Although these wines are not meant for aging, Alsatian styles are the exception and can be cellared for 5-10 years.
