Chardonnay and Pinot Gris are positively the two most popular grape families when it comes to white wines. Most white wine drinkers will usually stick to these two varieties when given the chance. Chardonnay has a soft citrus flavor, Pinot Gris is a bit more acidic while young and lighter in body.

Riesling is originally from the regions of Germany. Known for being the most versatile grape because when it’s picked early it produces a super dry wine and when picked late it produces a super sweet wine. With Riesling being dry yet sweet and everything in between it is usually a “crowd pleaser”.

Semillon is an appealing white wine with more of a fig like character. Semillon is usually blended with Sauvignon Blanc to help increase it’s fullness.

It is a good idea to experiment with different wines to cultivate your palate and explore new wines. Although this is a short list of the wide variety of wines our desire is that you are able to find a wine that you love and can always enjoy. Flying Fish Cafe is known for having 40 wines by the glass available to order at all times. Our staff is very knowledgeable and can assist you in your decision to experiment with something new.
