It's widely regarded as the best pinot grigio (or pinot gris) and costs nearly twice as much as any other pinot grigio, but a bottle is still only about $30. How is their pinot grigio 50% better than any other pinot grigio and what does it say about grape itself when it's best, most expensive wine is $30? Marketing and crap are the answers.

Anyway, Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is prob my favorite white (they have it at Bond. St. - http://bondstrestaurant.com/drink.php). Can't think of my favorite red at the moment.
