TYPES OF WHITE WINES
Chardonnay
The most popular type of white wine is probably Chardonnay. For many wine drinkers, when they say white wine, they really mean Chardonnay. If a region grows wine grapes, it produces Chardonnay. However, the area where the grapes grow can have a significant effect on the flavor of the wine.
Chardonnays are generally either oaked or unoaked. When aged in an oak barrel, the Chardonnay’s taste is affected, and you’ll likely find that you prefer one over the other, especially when pairing the wine with food.
The team here at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits has several suggestions for Chardonnays, including all of the following:
- Antinori Tormaresca Chardonnay
- Region – Apulia, Italy
- Tasting notes – apple, citrus, floral, and fresh
- Body – light-bodied

Riesling
Riesling is grown in several regions; although, it historically hails from Germany. We at Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits offer a plethora of Riesling options from Hugel, Cavit, Prum Essence, and more. From chicken or pork to spicy Thai or Indian dishes, this type of wine ranges in sweetness levels and food pairings.
Pinot Grigio
Crisp with fruity, acidic flavors, Pinot Grigio generally offers a higher alcohol content than other white wines, so it can be paired with heavier dishes. Head to Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits for your choice of Pinot Grigio—from Cavit to Torresella, Barefoot, Principato, and many other brands.
