White wine for a red wine lover?

Oct 29th, 2008 by admin | 14

I’m typically a red wine drinker (sangiovese and merlot in particular). I have yet to develop a taste for white wine, but I wanted to start trying some out. Any white wine suggestions for a red wine lover?
You seem to prefer drier wines (higher alcohol content BTW). Dry wines seem to be on my preference radar as well. I like to have a sauvignon blanc or chablis blanc. Every once in awhile, I might get lucky and get a drier Chardonnay, but it’s too rare to mess with.

    don't start with the sweet wines like Rieslings they will shock you with their sweetness but Chardonnay is soooo dry that i would say a Pinto Grigio or some other similar wine. your best bet would be to go to a wine tasting and see what happens. if that is not possible try a GOOD wine store and tell them the flavors you like in your wine (oak, lemon, fruity, etc.) they can give you recommendations that will fit your palate if they are any good at their jobs.

    try a quincy it's positively delicious . . if you like something a bit heavier but don't like the typical chardonnay grape try a white chateauneuf de pape, the grape you're looking for is Marsanne

    I would recommmend a sauvignon blanc or fume blanc if you enjoy a merlot, not as sweet as other varietals. It's a light earthy tasting wine with hints of citrus and herb flavors. In general the fruitiness aromas are more prominent in whites vs reds due to the lack of tanin, you will get that clean crisp taste of the fruit flavors. Washinton and Oregon wine tasting reviews:

    I, too, am primarily a red wine drinker. When I look for a white, I usually turn to Pinot Grigio or Pinto Gris.

    If you like Sangiovese and Merlot, try either a Chardonnay or a Gewurztraminer. Gewurztraminer's have some spice to them so it makes them interesting and Chardonnay's tend to be the heaviest of the white wines (especially if they are oaked).

    I'm not sure where you are located so I don't know what is available to you but my favourite Chardonnay's are from either California or Australia. As for the Gewurztraminer's, try Germany or Canada.

    I really enjoy wine. I remember the first time I tried some when I was just 11 years old. My mom let me taste a bit of her white on Thankgiving. Right then and there I became a wine drinker. lol I would guess that I have tried quite a few hundred different wines over the years. It’s kind of fun trying a new one and learning about how and where it was grown. I’ve been thinking about trying a wine club lately and I’ve been thinking about this 4 Seasons club. I read a review about it there. Have you had any experience with it, or would you recommend any other wine tasting club?
