Pinot grigio is generally lighter and crisper than chardonnay and that helps make it compatable with a wider array of foods.
A bottle of 2001 Teifenbruuner costs $11.
2001 Ecco Domani is $9.
Both are clean crisp and worth trying.
Another trendy wine that's becoming more popular is syrah or Shiraz. Experts say a good syrah will be full- or medium bodied with an array of ruity, spicy, or sometimes woody notes.
A syrah is lighter than many red wines, it also has fewer tannins that cause that mouth- puckering effect.
The top pick for this year is from Australia
2001 Rosemount estate Shiraz. $11.
For red wine drinkers consumer reports also recommends two Cabernet Sauvignons from Sonoma County. 1999 Clos du Bois and Rodney Strong. Both cost $15.

My favourite wine is a Syrah.
Brown Brothers Dolcetto if you can get it over there.

Thanks Mark, I'll try to find some and let you know how well it stays in the glass. :-)

That's a downunder joke for upside down wine glasses, but it keeps the corks from getting dry.
