With that being said, PG was a PAIN when doing blinds and trying to get ready for my exams since their is almost nothing to go off of. There are some decent PG out there, but yes, they are by far and few in the minority and not the "house wine" at a North American restaurant.
The Alsace versions are far more enjoyable than the Oregonian stuff. The Italian ones always please me in the early part of a meal or in the late afternoon sunshine. I think Japan takes the cake on insipid flavor profile-less wine with Koshu. I won't even let it be served at my table. Blech! And the faux patriotism based exclamations of joy from locals when they drink it, yowza.
