Since I have been working in an industry that sells wine I have been asked many times what are the differences from all the wines on these shelves.  Here is a brief description of the types of wines and what food to eat them with.  I also included wines you should try if you are not sure what you are looking for.  I picked inexpensive wines so you don’t break your budget:

White Wine:

• Chardonnay:  The flavor is dry, oaky and full-bodied
  • Drink this wine with Seafood, Poultry, Shell Fish and goes great with Caesar Salad
  • My suggestions:  Woodbridge, Clos Du Bois, Yellow Tail and Hogue.
• Sauvignon Blanc:  The flavor is dry, citrusy and grassy nose (nose is the smell)
  • Drink this with Seasoned Poultry, Fish, and Summer Salads
  • My suggestions:  Chateau St. Jean Fume Blanc, Barefoot, Ecco Dominai, Rancho Zabaco
• Pinot Grigio:  The flavor is light, crisp, fruity and dry.  Quickly becoming the most popular white wine.
  • Drink with Mild Fish, Pasta and Mild Cheese
  • My suggestions: Santa Margharita, Blackstone, Turning Leaf, Cavit and Bella Sera
