Three Non-Pinot Grigios for Pinot Grigio lovers
Okay, so you are a die-hard Pinot Grigio fan. You love the fact that they’re good to guzzle in your pink flamingo pool floaty and you’re not required to think too hard. Pure summer satiation.
We support it 100%.
I was going to give you a list of Pinot Grigio we love, but instead—mostly because you’ve probably seen them all, and this is more fun anyway—I’m giving you a list of non-Pinot Grigios that say ‘Pinot-Grigio-Summer-Satiation’ all over them, for added fun in the pool.
