White Wines

• Chardonnay - Produces a French white Burgundy and perhaps the most popular wine in the United States.
• Chenin Blanc - The major grape planted in the French Loire valley. Often used to make a light, fruity wine.
• Gewurztraminer - Has a floral smell and the wine itself is often drunk with spicy foods.
• Riesling - This is also a floral smelling wine which is a light, fresh type. Reisling is quite often used as a dessert wine. Reisling has accents of fuel oil, lots of depth and complexity.
• Sauvignon Blanc - Sometimes called Fume Blanc in California. A crisp, light wine with a "grassy" or "herbacious" characteristic.
• Semillon - Semillon is one of the major varieties grown in Bordeaux. This can also have a grassy note but it can also have notes of ripe figs. Semillon can be drunk dry or sweet.
