🥂 Episode 10: Pinot Gris / Pinot Grigio
Today, we’re uncorking a glass of Pinot Gris—aka Pinot Grigio—and exploring the many faces of this globe-trotting grape.

Here’s what you’ll learn in today’s episode:
- Why Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are the same grape—but taste totally different depending on where they’re grown
- How this grape mutated from Pinot Noir and wears its pinkish-gray skins with pride
- The surprising styles this grape takes on—from crisp and citrusy to rich and honeyed
- What foods to pair with the different expressions of Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio
