I dont' know much about Italian wine, so I don't feel bad about getting a whopping 1 of 12 blind guesses right. It's a learning experience, I tell you.
2006 Kris Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie 81 Points
Italy, Delle Venezie
(1/23/2010)
nose: stinky sock, woodsy, kinda weird.
palate: thick, a littler papery, with bruised citrus and a watery, empty midpalate. My least favorite of the flight.

2007 Breggo Cellars Pinot Gris Wiley Vineyard 85 Points
USA, California, North Coast, Anderson Valley
(1/23/2010)
nose: some funkiness, also some flower stems
palate: way sweeter on the palate than the nose would lead me to believe. Almost too sweet, like sugar was added.
Compared to the Bethel Heights pinot blanc, this was much less balanced and a lot more fake. Blind tasting sure does change a palate.

2008 Bethel Heights Pinot Blanc 87 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Eola - Amity Hills
(1/23/2010)
nose: tropical, very exuberant fruit, some stone
palate: very citrus in intensity, and surprisingly complex (more so than the Kris and Breggo Pinot gris/grigio tasted alongside). My favorite of the flight.87-88
