scorch 135 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Right, so my GF is a big fan of white wine. I'm not much of a wine connoisseur as I'm more of a beer kind of guy, but I'll still drink it. She likes the smooth stuff and as I pretty much have no idea where to start beyond a few suggestions, can anyone recommend a great white wine?Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HouseofPain 19 Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Depends on what you want to spend. Also how refined the drinker is. Saying that, some cheep wine actually tastes better than expensive wine. Are you looing for a corked wine, or a twist off Hey I buy wine at Sams...Assuming it has meaning to you as you would not have asked here, and that your willing to pay 10-15 for a small bottle, but i'm not, as there is to many good wines for under $8 now. Try a german white. They are a bit sweet and most like them quite well. If she knows her wines a bit go California chardonnay as it's dryer and more body, get it in the big bottle for less money at the supermarket! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She likes the smooth stuff and as I pretty much have no idea where to start beyond a few suggestions, can anyone recommend a great white wine?Thanks.That depends on a lot, as 'white wine' is a very broad category. So, here are a few of recommendations. Both are excellent wines. As you can see, I usually drink white wines in the 15-20 dollar range so that may or may not fit your budget, I don't know.http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-reviews/1753/tangent-Winery-2006-Ecclestone.htmlhttp://www.wine.com/V6/Leitz-Dragonstone-Riesling-2007/wine/95287/detail.aspx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

frankson 10 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 •Pinot Grigio is best paired with foods that are light and simple such as chicken, pasta and light fish dishes. Pinot Grigio does not pair well with cream sauces or meats with a distinctive game taste. Chardonnay pairs well with more complex and heavier meals such as lobster, pork dishes and heavy, cream sauces. Chardonnay does not pair well with red meats or "fishy"-tasting seafood. (I don't have enough posts to insert a link here so Google for 'What is the Difference Between Pinot Grigio & Chadonnay? on eHow.com.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GrumpyGus 10 Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 I know many people that enjoy Moscato D'Asti. Can be served with peaches, pears, or other soft fruits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebee25 10 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I happen to be a huge fan of Pinot Grigio! Chardonnay I find a little too dry for my taste, and Reisling can sometimes be too sweet. But, its all up to what you like and what you are pairing the wine with!

Seadragon 840 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 but there are other considerations to take into account. what your eating, what you have already drank before, and what your doing later. Just your research alone proves you care so anything you try will go well. She will tell you if she has a preference. so get 6 different kinds and let her choose.go to a beverage barn type place they have usually good deals on 6 bottles. out here we have BevMo which has buy one get the second for a nickel deals all the time.

Amerikaner83 1,026 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I always go with a local WA wine... it's a Riesling from Chateau Ste Michele, costs about 10 bucks a bottle but it's great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaFish 31 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Pinot Grigio is a great white from Italy and mostly inexpensive. Puligny-Montrachet is a white Bordeaux from France that is extremely expensive, but worth it! My favorite! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BackFromTheDebt 238 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I usually get Two Buck Chuck (actually $2.99 now. Inflation) at Trader Joe's. The trick is, find a more expensive wine of the same type. Then, keep the bottle around but keep refilling it with the 2-Buck Chuck. Try to get as close in taste as possible. If the 2-Buck Chuck isn't sweet, but the fancy stuff is, this won't work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
