Looking for a white wine, reasonably priced, that works well with fruit, cheese, and honey.?

Question

I am looking for a white wine, reasonably priced, that works well with fruit, cheese, and honey. More importantly, I'm looking for a wine that is not sweet--even dry if at all possible.

Answer 1

Wine is such an individual preference this is difficult to answer but I'll try. When you say "reasonably priced" I'm assuming you mean costing more than Two-Buck Chuck (Charles Shaw) but not so much as to break your wallet.

I suggest driving over to one of the large wine stores like BevMo where there are hundreds of wines from all over the world to choose from. Consider wines from Australia, Chile, and South Africa: many are reasonably priced and a good value with excellent quality. If that sounds a little too exotic, California wines are hard to beat in popularity.

Second if you want a white wine that is less sweet, try a California coastal chardonnay (Monterey) selection over a Southern California grown chardonnay. The micro-climates hugging the Monterey Bay mean the cooler temperatures will yield a less sweet wine with more tart flavors.

Answer 2

I think a pinot grigio is the only way to go. Not too sweet, compliments cheese and fruits beautifully, and a decent bottle can be had for under $20. Columbia Crest makes an all right one, as does Turning Leaf, but look for an Italian variety for the best odds of a good wine.

Answer 3

Any Savignone Blanc like Robert Mondavi, Turning Leaf, Kendall Jackson, Rodney solid... reckoning on the cheese you're serving, you are able to also favor to attempt a Pinot Grigio, or a reliable Chardonnay like Bogle, or Rodney solid. All are average and between $10-$16 determination. Cheers

Answer 4

Try a Mead. That is a sweet honey-wine. Bargetto's out of California makes a great one. You could also try a nice crisp Pino Grigio. Bargetto's is award winning.

Answer 5

Try white Zinfandel I like almaden my self. Have soft & hard cheese sliced apples and honey dipping sauce and crackers. Maybe grapes & olives. I even would add this salad I make mixed greens, feta cheese, dried cranberrys walnuts take 1/4 cup russin dressing, 1/2 cup rassberry vinigert and mix yummy!

Answer 6

A Pinot Noir is lovely with fruit and cheese as is a Savignon Blanc. They are on the dry side.

Answer 7

I don't really know wines but if you have a store near you named Trader Joes they can give you great help.

Answer 8

an oaky chardonnay from California. Soft, buttery, dry...

Answer 9

Riesling "relax"
