New to Wine

[Innkeeper]

Some people get turned off by the term "dry wine." They confuse it with drying, as in dry mouth. All that is meant by dry wine is that all the sugar that was in the grape juice has been fermented into alcohol. In other words, there is no sugar left. Most wines actually do have at least a tad bit of sugar left, even though they are referred to as dry.

Most people drink white wine with seafood and chicken, but it is not necessary. Light reds such as Beaujolais, some of the ligher pinot noirs, Bardolino, and Valpolicella are some to look for and had for less than $15.
