Can anyone recommend a good dry wine to try?

Question

What is your favourite?

Answer 1

A Gewürztraminer is not going to be dry but lovely and aromatic.

These are my everyday Spring favourites. I have many beloved children of the grape.

Answer 2

It kind of depends on what you want it for. Are you going to pair it with a meal or do you want a glass to drink at the end of a hard day? If you are pairing it with a meal, try any of the following:

Ravenswood Vintners Blend Zinfandel
Any Pinot Noir from Oregon

If you want a nice dry wine to sip at the end of the day, look for any of these grapes:

Pinot Grigio (could be called Pinot Gris)
Gewurztraminer
Sparkling wine (not necessarily Champagne, unless you have expensive taste)

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Chardonnay is OK, but I like sauvignon blancs from South Africa or New Zealand, preferably aged in steel casks over wood. Dry light and clean tasting. You can find some good ones for around $10-$12

For reds, try a pinot noir from Oregon-great with most meals.

Answer 4

cabernets tend to be pretty dry. i don't have one favorite, but i like the following:

2001 duckhorn cabernet
2002 duckhorn cabernet
2002 col solare red wine
2002 pine ridge cabernet (from stag's leap district)
2002 frog's leap cabernet
2001 stag's leap cabernet
2003 turnbull cabernet

Answer 5

I usually stick to chardonnay but I found that riunite or i beleive the spelling is similar to that has a lambrusco but it has a good grape flavor to it. not bad for cheap stuff!
