Alternative White Wines.

Alternative white wines- There are so many more wines than Chardonnay.

It’s the heat of summer. I hear people all the time say that they can’t drink anything in the summer heat but beer.

I suggest drinking alternative white wines. These wines tend to be lighter in body with less sugar content than chardonnay.Alternative white wines are refreshing and easy to drink. Many fantastic manufacturers produce great little field blends that are easy to drink with many types of food. These wines usually contain up to seven or eight different types of grapes blended together to make them slightly sweet and approachable by all. These wines pair well with many lighter finger foods, veggies or chips, and will not weigh you down in the summer heat.

It would be possible for anyone to sip these types of wine all afternoon, with fewer calories than beer, and not be weighed down by the shear volume.

Alternative white wines normally contain grape varietals such as Viognier, Riesling, Muscoto, Malvasia, Sauvignon Blanc, Guwerztraminer, Pinot Grigio, and / or Chardonnay.

If you are up for something new in the heat of summer, have your wine professional direct you toward one of these wonderful alternative whites. You will enjoy these wines as an alternative to Chardonnay. I can almost guarantee it.

Until next time. Drink more wine.
