Default What is a good White Pinot Noir?

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.

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.

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 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).
