Pinot Noir is generally considered to be sweeter than Cabernet Sauvignon.
Yes, usually.
Pinot gris is a genetic variant of pinot noir, less pigmented in the skin than PN, but more than Pinot Blanc. Some of the erries may be as dark as PN, others close to unpigmented. The origin is conjectured to be the same as PN, i e Bourgogne. It exists under several other names, such as pinot grigio (in Italy), Malvoisie, Fromenteau. The latter names can indicate several different grape varieties with little or no realtion to each other. A wine made from the grape will in Alsace also be called Pinot Gris (with addition of place of origin if this is a named place, such as a Grand Cru). In Germany it may be called Grauburgunder, or Ruländer - the latter after the first person to grow and commercialise wine made from PG in that part of Germany (the Palatinate). In Hungary, it goes under the name of Szürkebarat, when grown around the Lake Balaton.
Chenin Blanc is a white wine grape variety from the Loire Valley in France. It is used to make sparkling (champagne style) wines, as well as dry, semi-sweet and sweet wines. The most notable wine made from CB in the Loire is Vouvray. Unlike some whites it is especially suitable for aging. The variety is used in South Africa and Australia. In these latter countries it was formerly used as a high volume, low value wine. Unfortunately Chenin blanc has a poor reputation because of these practices. In Australia more wineries are now taking the variety seriously and quite a few very good wines are bening made. www.vinodiversity.com/chenin-blanc.html has more information and a list of Australian wineries using the variety.
I really depends on the wine maker. Merlot tends to be a little more fruity and a little more smoother. Pinot Noir can be really sweet, but also can be very dry, alcoholic and/or earthy (not suite). My exspensive, cheap Pinot tends to be sweeter than merlot which tends to be sweeter than more complex and exspensive pinots (espcially from France and Washington). What are you talking about? Merlot is dense, dry and not at all expressive...VERY generally speaking... quite dull...sweet? Not at all. Pinot noir is not at all sweet either, but VERY expressive! I assume you confuse "sweet" with flavors of fruit. Looking for fruit between the two..pinot. Looking for "sweet"...look elsewhere pal. You also might consider some classes in english.
It is likely that if you walk into any bottle shop you will find plenty of wine in this category in your price point. This is because Dry White Wine is as basic as you can get when it comes to winemaking, after grapes are crushed, they are fermented until the yeast has consumed all of the fermentable sugars present in the juice and for this reason there is no such thing as "most dry", you simply cannot get any dryer than the sugars being totally fermented.
Chardonnay has a slightly lower sugar content than Merlot.
Sweeter than Bourbon was created in 2008.
Sweeter Than the Day was created in 2001-01.
Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever was created in 1966.
Sugar cane is naturally sweeter than saccharin. Saccharin is an artificial sweetener that is much sweeter than sugar but may have a slightly bitter aftertaste.
The best valued wines from top to bottom that I have had in years. From the entry level wine, pinot Grigio, montepulciano, less than $10 to the Amarone which I think sells for about $45, I have loved them all. They even do a Prosecco-moscato blend that is great, it is like drinking a momomosa in a bottle without the oj.
