Pinot Gris

[NewButTrying]

I want to say I'm new to wine drinking though I have tried off and on for years. I don't know if the older you get the more your taste buds change and you appreciate more things.

I don't like the red wines I have tried that have been very dry. Reading through past topics I have written down some ideas that I look forward to trying. I have liked quite a few Zinfandels, but am trying to broaden my horizon.

I recently went to a nice restaurant that served Trimbach Pinot Gris. I liked it so much that I went to find it at the local liquor store with a fairly big wine department. They only had one Pinot Gris, which was not Trimbach. I bought it, and enjoyed that one too. I went to find the Trimbach at another store, and found it. But again they only had a couple of Pinot Gris'.

Is Pinot Gris the same as Pinot Grigio? They always have big selections of them. Should I try a Pinot Grigio or should I try a Chardonnay?

Besides being confused on the type, I get confused on which brand. There are so many. I don't mind spending a little more for a good quality wine, I just don't know what to pick.
