Edelzwicker - An Edelzwicker is a white wine from the Alsace region of northeastern French. It is a blend of several white varieties such as Riesling and Traminer (Gewürztraminer). While its name literally means noble blend, most Edelzwickers are dry, light, simple wines that best drunk young.

Falanghina - Falanghina is a relatively unknown Italian white grape found in southern and central Italy. See

Fiano di Avellino - Fiano di Avellino is an Italian white wine that was granted the DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) status in 1978, and the DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata Garantita) status in 2003. It is based on the Fiano grape in Avellino, in the wooded hills of central Campania, a region of southern Italy. A maximum of 15% of other local white varieties is permitted.

Grillo - Grillo is a widely grown, unpretentious white grape from the island of Sicily in southern Italy. This grape is found in Marsala wine.

Gruener Veltliner - Gruener Veltliner is Austria’s signature white grape variety, rarely grown elsewhere. Traditionally it was not associated with high quality wine, but in recent years this variety has produced some excellent wines. Flavors include pepper, citrus fruits, and other fruits. Perhaps because it is acidic, Gruener Veltliner wines are quite food friendly.

Jurançon - Jurançon is a sweet or dry white wine made in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques region of southwestern France. It is made from minor grape varieties such as Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng and can age for up to twenty years. However, I defy you to keep the bottle that long. I found that a 2003 vintage, no longer on sale was an excellent combination of acidity and sweetness, surpassing far more expensive competitors.

Lambrusco - Lambrusco is a fizzy red, white, or rosé wine from the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. It is the best selling Italian wine in the United States. Don’t store it for a newborn’s wedding or graduation from kindergarden, but enjoy it soon after purchase. Lambrusco is dry or slightly sweet and often tastes of ripe cherries.

It is found in Germany, Italy, Central and Southeast Europe, in Australia, and in the United States, particularly California and Oregon where it is the most widely grown white grape.

Riesling - Riesling is a famous white wine grape. It’s the signature grape of Germany where it is vinified in a wide variety of styles. Don’t miss out on today’s fine Riesling wines because of bad experiences with cloying, low-quality Rieslings in the past. It’s a food friendly wine; one that’s worth getting to know.

Sancerre – Sancerre is a fruity, acidic white wine made in the Loire Valley of northern France from the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety.

Sauvignon Blanc - A popular white wine grape Sauvignon Blanc is is widely grown in France, especially Bordeaux and the eastern Loire valley, as well as in Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, where it is the signature variety, and in the United States, especially California.

Silvaner - The unpretentious Silvaner is grown mostly in Alsace, France and Germany where it once was about 30% of the wine harvest. I’m told that this variety reaches its peak in the village of Limbach, Slovakia and in Franconica, Germany.

Soave - Soave is a light white wine from the Tre Venezie region of northern Italy. Soave is heavily exported. Be careful, the quality varies measurably, many Soaves are bland, some are fruity.

Sparkling (Brut) - Sparkling (Brut) is a dry sparkling wine. Many different processes are used to generate the bubbles. As a rule of thumb, the smaller the bubbles, the better the wine.

Sparkling Wine - Sparkling Wine is bubbly, and probably doesn’t come from the Champagne region of northern France, and yet it may be quite good.

Tafelwein - Tafelwein is German for table wine, as you may guess a wine at the bottom of the German wine hierarchy.

Tocai - Tocai is a fruity white wine from the Fruili region of northeastern Italy. It may have a mineral taste.

Trockenbeerenauslese - Trockenbeerenauslese is the sweetest German wine. It is made out of individually picked grapes that rotted on the vine. But it’s noble rot, similar to French Sauternes.

Vermentino - Vermentino is a white grape variety that grows in the Liguria and Tuscany regions of central Italy and the southern Italian island of Sardinia. This is an aromatic, appetite-whetting wine that can help you to forget forgettable Italian white wines. The best such wine is said to be Vermentino de Gallura DOCG.

Vernaccia di San Gimignano - Vernaccia di San Gimignano DOCG is a white wine from high-altitude vineyards near the beautiful, medieval central Tuscany town of San Gimignano. As its name indicates, it’s made from the Vernaccia grape. Be careful, despite its prestigious classification many of these wines are bland
