10 Wacky White Wines

We found a great white wine roundup over at SFGate that really helped un-constipate our thinking about the paler grapes. Check out the intro paragraph and tell us it doesn't get you pumped to sip some whites this summer. If it doesn't, let us know and we'll come smack you upside the head.

Wine shouldn't be boring. That's not its job. With food, predictability is often an asset: your favorite takeout joint, grandma's coffee cake, the burger at Original Joe's. If you want to enjoy a predictable drink, that's whisky's job. (Talisker and a wee drop, thanks.) With wine, if you ever stop thinking and talking about what's in your glass, you have to wonder if it's an improvement on water.

Bargain Wines are the best way to experiment, because there's less money at stake. The consequences of telling your wine merchant "I need a little variety in my life" are less than they might be if making the same statement on Market Street at midnight. So with that in mind, let's walk on the wild side of white wines this week.
