Since I asked my last question I was wondering what would be a good white pinot noir. Price range would be a maximum of like $75. I would like to give it as a gift so vineyard and vintage would be good to know.
Thanks

I just wanted to refresh this. I would like to try to find one with 100% pinot noir grapes. Any other opinions, I am just looking for a host of selections.

Lanson Black Label Brut Champagne is very good modestly priced bubbly. 50% pinot noir 35% chardonnay 15% pinot meunier. Excellent Champagne for its price.

Pinot Noir (Nero in Italian) in harder to make, and is daintly. Originated from Burgundy, France, is now produced in other regions of France and Italy (northern and Tuscany) and also in California. Pinot Gris (Grigio) is a mutation of Pinot Noir (pinot is a variety of grapes, by the way); is a very succesfull wine, although in theory the quality is lower compared to Noir. Still, is from northern Italy, an appreciated variety is from Alsace, France, good quality also from Hungary. There also are Pinot Meunier (from France) and Pino Bianco, originated from Germany, is spreaded in France, Italy, Germany, North and South America and Australia. Sometimes (more in the past than today) called "Pinot-Chardonnay". But... for zeppole (like ofr any kind of dessert) *white* whine is a lot better! Especially sparkling wine or spumante.

By defenition Pinot Noir is a red (noir). The Pinot grape used also as a white such as a Pinot Grigio. There are several good labels to choose from one of the better is (sorry I'm not sure of the spelling but goes like) San Margharita.

Ok...first things first...there is no such thing as a white Pinot Noir. Pinot Noir's are red wines and I know of no winery in any wine producing country in the world that would make it into a white version. You would lose all of the complexity and variety by removing the skins from the wine making process.
If you want a red Pinot Noir, just look for one from Oregon as they are known for their Pinot Noirs - particularilly from the Willamette Valley.

PInot noir is a "black grape" that would ultimately produces red wine.
Probably what you meant was other varietal from pinot "family". Pinot grape is very well known for their tendency to mutate resulting in various sub-varietals. Some of the whites of pinot are Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris (known as Pinot Grigio in Italy, or Tokay Pinot Gris in Alsace).
It is, however, possible to make "white" from Pinot Noir, similar to what they do with "white zinfandel", by not allowing the skin to contact with the must (as the case in Chamapgne).
