Well there you go, my credentials as a wine connoisseur blown away in two sentences. At least you know your grape juice. | |

A good Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc - Touraine, Sancerre
A good Chenin Blanc - from the Loire Valley or South Africa
A nice Albarino
A nice white Rioja
A Puglian Primtivo
I drink far more red than white but I’ll generally drink any old rubbish if it’s red but I have specific requirements for whites. |  | | |

Styles, rather than specific producers / vintages, seems to be the approach here. 5 picks that I have really enjoyed in recent months include:
1 Grüner Veltliner from Austria (taste acquired during ITFC preseason!)
2 Spätburgender (German pinot noir), much enjoyed in wine festivals during the Sept International break - warning that I only took to about half of those tried, and price wasn't a reliable indicator of quality.
3 There is a pink prosecco that Wines of Interest sell; they had it at their tasting last week. It is utterly strawberry, but then explodes into a sherbety dryness.
4 Picpoul de Pinet, dry white from the South of France, always seems to punch well above its price point.
5 Any Loire red, but St Nicolas de Bourgeuil maybe shades it over Chinon. Although red, these must be served at around 12 degrees c. | | | |
