I have said it before I will say it again: I love wine. I have a glass or two every single night and I have absolutely no intention of ever changing that - and knowing all the amazing health benefits of wine that is probably a good thing.
One thing that I have noticed is that I tend to focus a lot of time on red wines, what can I say I am just a huge fan of big bold reds, but there is of course a lot more to the world of wine than a Bordeaux, Chianti, Cabernet or one of the other magnificent reds available.
I cannot ignore the wonderful world of the delicate white wines any longer.
I think that white wines are excellent for a lot of reasons. First of all is that when people start drinking wine they usually start with a good white (hopefully). These wines tend to bridge the gap between wine drinkers and non-wine drinkers. They hold a unique place in this world.
To celebrate these wines I have made a list of my favorite whites:
1. Desert Rieslings - Sweet and refreshing, there are few people in this world who do not enjoy a small glass of this delicious wine. This is a wonderful treat after dinner.
According Pinot Grigio - One of my favorites is this delicate white wine and fresh taste of such and is a delight for the beginner or an expert sommelier.
Third Retsina - a wine to avoid the many people, but I think, wonderful. What makes this wine is big, that's the predominant flavor is pine SAP. A strange taste for some, butgoes great with Mediterranean cuisine.
Quarter Chardonnay - This wine is usually a nice gold or bright shade to its color. In contrast to the Pinot Gris and Riesling above is a warm white wine that goes down and leaves traces of butter in the mouth to remain smooth.
Fifth Early Muscat - This white wine can seem so delicate and openly with the flavors in the mouth that is, making a confused and delicious wine to drink with pasta and fish.
Winesabove, some of my absolute favorite white wines are available everywhere. They represent a wide spectrum of flavors, aromas and impressions. They are accessible to people who are new to wine, but complex enough for the biggest wine snob to enjoy it.
