Some would say a perfect summer wine is the Chardonnay, some the Sauvignon Blanc, and even some would dare to mention White Zinfandel or White Merlot. Now, stop and think about where you will be dining this summer, and what you will be eating. Envision the Central West End and its hot, humid patios and a lighter fare of seafood and salads. When you gaze at the wine list, sweat dripping down your forehead, your first consideration should be Pinot Grigio. As the seasons change so does the food.
Richer food deserves richer wine.
The fall dishes simply stand up better to the big California Chards. Sauvignon Blanc is a good alternate to Pinot Grigio but still a little overbearing with its big fruit and sweet grapefruitty aftertaste. But if you usually drink White Zinfandel, Sauvignon Blanc is for you. Anyway, so you're looking at the wine list and you notice a spelling error in the Pinot Grigio section. They both are the same grape just grown in different parts of the world.
