My favorite white wine is the santa margherita pinot grigio. Any suggestions to a cheaper version? It is a little too pricey to be buying it often! Does anyone know what a cheaper white wine is that is very similar to this type of pinot grigio? It is crisp and smooth and absolutley delicious! Come on wine lovers if you have any suggestions! Thanks!

Would Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, White Zinfandel, or Merlot be considered Dry White Wines? If not, what would? I'm making a Recipe ( Poached Salmon with Green Peppercorn, Ginger, and Orange Sauce, www.epicurious.com) and it calls for 1 cup of a dry white wine. I have never really ever cooked with wine, so I don't know what's classified as a dry wine or not. Someone help me, please.

What kind of fruit can I add to a Pinot Grigio? HI, I was told before that I can add some types of fruit to some Pinot Grigio. I've never had any, but I received a box of it for Christmas, and was thinking of serving it at my Bunco party tomorrow night. I would appreciate any suggestions!!! I will also be serving red and white wines, in case this Pinot is not a hit!!!

White wine recommendation, not sweet? I typically like Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay and White Bordeaux. Any new brands you could recommend? Also prefer a white wine that can be used in recipes.

If I like pinot grigio, what type of red wine might I enjoy? I've had a few Californian pinot grigios and really liked them. (I've also had shiraz - didn't like it so much.) I know whites and reds are two very different classes, and I'm not much of a wine connoisseur - actually, I'm just a beginner - but am wondering if there are any sort of lighter, fruitier reds, since I'd like to start venturing into red territory more often.

How long is too long for a bottle of white wine to remain in the fridge (while unopened)? I've had a bottle of Pinot Grigio in there for at least 6 months and need to serve white wine tomorrow, so the other option is putting in a bottle of Chardonnay that I have. Should I offer the Pinot Grigio and just mention that it's been in there for a while and to let me know if it tastes a little funky because we can switch to the Chardonnay? (I think this particular person likes Pinot Grigio, but I don't know how they feel about Chardonnay) The bottle that's been in there for 6 months is still sealed.

Of the white wine grape varietals, which are you favorite, and can you recommend a good vintner or producer..? ... of each?

I've even heard that there is White Cabernet and White Bordeaux (as you can tell, I love am really a fan of white wine). Do they resemble in taste? Do they all taste great with the same foods? What is the REAL difference? I've tried to read, but I need someone who can give it to me easier than the book. Thanks!

White Wine and Dieting?? So just yesterday I put myself on a diet. Nothing specific really, mostly the kind where I just don't eat so many fattening, greasy, unhealthy foods, and instead eat things that are low in calories and fat grams, but high in protein and vitamins. Plus do something everyday that exercises my body. An example like walking down and up my street (which is a steep hill) or playing DDR on my gamecube. I love white wine, specially savignon blanc and pinot grigio. The bottles don't say what kind of calorie content they have. I'm wondering if it would have any negative side effects on me trying to lose weight?

Help me find my beloved pinot grigio!? I used to buy pinot grigio from a liquor store in Marblehead, MA, where I used to live. I have since moved to Michigan. I can't find it anywhere. I've tried thousands of pinots, but haven't found my favorite. I would recognize the bottle, but stupidly, I have no idea what it is! It is in a dark blue, opaque bottle, with a dark blue label. The bottle is taller and slimmer than most, and the transition from bottle to neck is very tapered. I don't remember anything it said on the label, except "Friuli" in a modern script on top, either in white or gold. I believe this wine cost $13 or $14 in 2003. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Whats you favorite type of wine? White: Pinot Grigio Red: Merlot or Pinot Noir

What's your favorite type of wine? What is everyone's favorite type of wine? I'm not a wine expert by any means but I've been to a couple tastings and what not and I always seem to prefer Chiraz. It's fruity but not too sweet or heavy (I know there are better words for it but like I said, I'm not an expert). I'm not a big fan of whites. I think I would go with pinot grigio for my preference though.

Wine recommendations? I am trying to stock my wine cellar and am interested in hearing any recommendations. I particularly like red wine, especially australian and south american blends. One of my favorites is Penfolds Cabernet Shiraz. I am not fundamentally opposed to whites. I am fond of Muscato (sp?) and Pinot Grigio. I am trying to keep the price under $30 so that i can buy a good quantity of wine. Willing to spend more for a bottle that can't be missed.

A good red and a good white...? My husband and I are going away ALONE for the first time since our 7-month-old was born. I was wondering if anyone could suggest some really good wines we could bring along with us. Something in the $20/bottle range. I like Pinot Grigio, Shiraz, Cabernet.

Can anyone recommend good wines for a new drinker? (This will yield very broad answers, I know.)? Recently tried Santa Margerita's Pinot Grigio 2006. This is now my favorite wine. I like that it is dry yet flavorful, and lingers nicely. I like how it is not terribly smooth. I have bought a couple whites since, and would like some recommendations before I go further. Francis Coppola's Sauvignon Blanc was satisfying, but not nearly as much as the aforementioned (although I liked the approach). This Gallo Chardonnay is far better than I thought it would be at 8 dollars, but is still not cutting it. I have tried some red pinots (macmurray's, rodney strong, smoking loon) and been disappointed. America's first petite shirah was not crisp enough. Far too complex. Or perhaps it was just bad, and I am not good at telling these things. I would like any recommendations based on my favorite, which is that Pinot Grigio. I realize this is a broad question but have noticed there are many wine lovers here who seem glad to share suggestions. Any color, any reasonable price. Thanks.

Reaction from drinking wine? Why does white wine cause excessive yawning-at least with me? Pinot Grigio, dry white to be exact.
