I'll have to pick one up soon. I’m feeling quite envious that I only *watched* you buy the bottle and didn’t buy one for myself. I’ll have to pick one up soon.

Kind of silly but that's the reasoning. Vin Gris IS made using Pinot Noir–from red comes rose/pink and from “noir” comes “gris”. Kind of silly but that’s the reasoning.

Some say this makes vin gris paler than average roses but not in this case.
