I heard a new report today about an Italian scientist study showing Pinot Grigio had the most cancer fighting properties of any wine. Now Im searching for it and cant find it. Apparently it has something to do with an ingredient of the grape, can anyone point it out to me?

Never heard this one, but I can say Pinot Grigio is one of my favourite wines to match with fish in general. One PG I found very interesting in elegance and complexiity was from "La Montecchia", in Padua, very clean and not wooden. A wooden and more structured one, if you like that kind of PG, is the one from Lis Neris, also italian, but expensive.

There was a paper published in Current Biology by some Italian scientists showing the life-prolonging effects of resveratrol, a compound found in red wines (especially Pinot Noir), but that's the closest news I've heard to what you asked about.

Can you cite the source? Most studies have shown more benefits from red wine. Hard to imagine what property would be unique to Pinot Gris/Grigio that would be in similar wines.
I've heard a lot about Pinot Grigio lately, maybe it's more hype than anything else. Commercials for it too. I'm a red man myself. Pinot Noir of Cabernet.

Oops, meant that wouldn't be in similar wines.
