Pinot Blanc

It was once believed that these grapes were related to Chardonnay but actually they are part of the Pinot family (Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris/Grigio). And though they are often compared to Chardonnays, they are not as complex and flavorful and as a rule don't lend themselves as well to aging as Chardonnays. Pinot Blanc grapes produce dry, medium-bodied wines with high acidity and hints of apple and spice. Pinot Blanc grows well in France's Alsace region, and some very good offerings are coming from California.
