Feature: Pinot Gris / Pinot Grigio
Pinot Gris and Pinot Grigio are the same grape but the style of a Pinot Gris will be more full bodied whereas the Pinot Grigio will be lighter bodied and possibly more neutral in style.

In terms of food pairings Pinot Grigio goes very nicely with Spaghetti Carbonara where I would dare to put a Pinot Gris with a spicy Thai dish.
