Chardonnay from California is buttery and oaky.
French Chardonnay (Pouilly Fousse) is dryer and richer due to old french oak.
Sauvignon Blanc is dry and grassy, grapefruity.
Pinot Grigio is very dry and slightly mineralesque.
my opinion only

they are all grown from different white grapes. though as somebody else mentioned Pinot Grigio is related to the Pinot Noir grape. I find Chardonnay to be the heaviest tasting of the three. It is generally very buttery, almost butterscotch like, It also can have a nutty, citrus type taste. An can be very oaky which may or may not be a good thing. I find good chardonnay to be very hard to find. A lot of wineries put too much oak flavor. Sauvignon Blanc is a little bit lighter in flavor. Very citrusy, lemon, grassy flavor. It has more herbal and mineral taste to me than a chardonnay. I live off Sauv Blanc in the summer time. It goes very well with food. Sauv Blanc from New Zealand is the best. Pinot Grigio is the lightest of the three. Though to me it is very similar to a Sauv Blanc. It is also the "sweetest" of the three. But I would not call it a sweet wine. IT has a very similar flavor profile to Sauv Blanc. herb, citrus, even peppery like arugula.
