Everything You Need To Know About The Basics of White Wine

White wine is always a hit at parties and get-togethers. Most people can name a favorite brand, but not everyone truly knows the subtle differences and numerous varieties of the wines produced by the hundreds of varieties of white wine grapes. These grapes are planted on all corners of the globe, so the drink you're sipping on could have started in France, Italy, or Spain! Keep reading to learn about the flavor profiles and regions of the most common white wine grapes. This list could obviously be way more extensive, but here are a few of the more common varieties.

Chardonnay

Almost everyone has heard of Chardonnay. It's versatile and popular and grows all over the globe. Some of the most recognized producers are Burgundy, France, California, and Australia. Its taste calls to mind fresh green apples and can be made to be crisp and stony, buttery and toasty, or even brilliantly fresh if the green apple and citrus flavors are highlighted.

Chenin Blanc

Chenin Blanc is a white grape typically found in the Loire Valley of France. It's very versatile and can produce sweet dessert, sparkling, dry, and off-dry flavors. In South Africa, it is known as Steen. Wines made from these grapes typically have floral aromas, assertive acidity, and apple and pear-like flavors.

Gewurztraminer

This variety grows in Alsace and produces very intense floral, aromatic, and spicy vino. They can range from extremely dry to decadently sweet. In Oregon and northern Italy, it makes a crisp, grapefruit-flavored wine that pairs very well with spicy foods and Asian dishes.

Marsanne

This is the most important grape in the northern Rhone, and has only recently begun to be labeled in the U.S. Both in France and the U.S., it is often blended Roussanne, Viognier, and Grenache Blanc. It ripens reliably and makes full-bodied wine, low-acid and with flavors of almonds, lightly spiced pears, and white peaches. Some of the oldest plantings in the world are located in Australia.

Muscat

There are many varieties of Muscat, but all contain a strong aroma of oranges. When fermented dry, it generally imparts a hint of sweetness. Muscat is great for light sparkling wines, especially the Moscato d'Asti of northern Italy. The Muscats of Australia produce the most luscious and dense varieties.

Pinot Grigio

Pinot Grigio creates light, food-friendly wines that don't overwhelm the palate with the taste of alcohol. Popular versions come from the Tre Venezie, Alsace, and the Pfalz region of Germany. A very close cousin, Pinot Gris, has become the pre-eminent wine of Oregon. The California version of Pinot Grigio is heavier, but vintners in Washington make a version that is intense, tart, and pairs well with seafood.

Use your newfound knowledge to discuss your drink options with guests at your next dinner party or event. Your friends will surely be impressed by your repertoire.

Cool down while getting turnt up.

Tequila Sunrise Pops
Ingredients
▪ 2 cups pineapple juice
▪ 1 lb, fresh pineapple, peeled and pureed
▪ 3/4 cup tequila

• Ice

Instructions
1. Combine wine, rum, orange juice, cinnamon, and sugar in a pitcher and stir to combine. Add fruit.
2. Dump pitcher contents into blender. Blend to puree fruit.

4. With half of the sangria mixture in the blender add about 2 cups of ice and blend. Add more ice if necessary.
5. Pour in glasses and garnish with lime wedge.

Billy Leighton | Head Blender for Jameson Whiskey

With almost a decade of experience as Master Blender behind him, Billy’s precision can be traced back to his first role, as a trainee accountant at Irish Distillers’ Old Bush Mill Distillery. When given the opportunity to move into production, Billy went from calculating VAT to the Vatting House, where he prepared the whiskey for bottling.

“You don’t set out to become a whiskey blender from day one,” says Billy. "What helped was the experience I gathered with my whiskey production, but perhaps most specifically, from the blending point of view, the intimate knowledge of my stocks proved most valuable.”
