Whites
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.
