Second wine tasting: Gris v. Grigio The muddy green, fluted bottle of the Oregon-produced Kudos Pinot Gris certainly contrasted with the nearly clear bottle of the Italian Conte Priola Pinot Grigio. The taste contrast was no different. The strength and extreme citrus flavor of Oregon’s offering washed out the faint Italian vintage. Seriously - if you took a glass of Kudos and cut it with water, you’d have this Conte Priola. Pinot Grigio is already a very tame wine, which makes it brilliant for an afternoon of sipping. I’m thinking the Conte Priola is going to be prefect for the amateur wine imbiber, or if you’re in the mood to drink water but all that’s filling your glass is wine. The Kudos would be just wonderful for anything. (In case you needed anymore evidence of the superiority of the West Coast’s big O, here it is: lovely Pinot Gris).
