There are of course other white wines available that we have not covered. And to further confuse you, some are even blends of what we have already talked about.

Edelzwicker- This is a blend of several varieties like Riesling and Traminer. It is a simple wine which is dry and best drunk young. Pair this wine with fish and cheese. 

Loire Valley Chenin- Refined and somewhat expensive but worth the buck, from what I hear. Has a taste of freshly chopped apples and limes with a hint of walnut and honey.

Frascati- A light, fruity, unpretentious white wine that comes from the hills near Rome in Central Italy. Suggested food pairings include seafood cocktail. Frascati Secco works well with spaghetti carbonara.

Fiano di Avellino- Italian white wine based on the Fiano grape in Avellino. Pair with  seafood, pizza and pasta.

Icewine/Eiswein- A concentrated acidic nectar from choosing frozen grapes in the winter. Great wine to pair with Foie Gras and desserts.

Sancerre- Of the Sauvignon Blanc grape variety (red and rosé Sancerres also exist). Tastes of citrus fruits, gooseberries, gunflint, herbs, and smoke. Pair with  sardines, sea bass, sushi and fettucine alfredo.

Soave- Light white wine from northern Italy. Soave quality varies. For a higher quality, try a Soave Classico. Pair with bass, fried fish, and boiled shrimp.
