From Pinot Grigio to Gewürztraminer, and even orange wines, there is something for everyone in the diverse world of white wine.
00:36 - Types of White Wine
00:50 - Pinot Grigio (aka Pinot Gris!)
02:14 - Sauvignon Blanc
03:46 - dry Riesling
05:08 - Gewürztraminer
06:18 - Chardonnay
08:04 - Orange Wine
More about the wines:
1. Pinot Grigio - Also known as Pinot Gris, it’s the prototypical crisp dry white wine, but there’s more to this grape than meets the eye.
2. Sauvignon Blanc - Famed for its green aromatics of cut grass, gooseberry and even bell pepper, you’ll find Sauvignon Blanc pairs excellently with southeast Asian cuisine.
3. Riesling - A great choice to match with Indian cuisine and Spicy Thai, Riesling exudes rich peach and apricot aromatics and ranges from bone dry to very sweet.
4. Gewürztraminer - The most floral popular white wine with aromas of roses and potpourri. Surprisingly, many of these wines are bone dry!
5. Chardonnay - The fullest body of the white wines, not because of the grape but because of the winemaking method. Aging in oak adds richness to these wines.
6. Orange wine - a newly popular but ancient white winemaking method that allows white grapes to ferment like red wines. These wines have rich color and flavor from the skins.

i'd love to see more videos in this "if you like this, try this" style, i'm not a big white wine person so hearing about new grapes similar to the ones i do like is super helpful!
Okay! Noted
Seconded!
Chenin Blanc, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Albarino and white Rioja and Riesling and Gewurztraminer.
Excellent introduction into white varietals for a wine tasting party. My personal experiences have shown novices who started by searching out wines rated outstanding (90+) by professional sommeliers are more likely to become more interested in the nuances of wine. It’s natural for beginners to initially prefer sweeter wines only to find their tastes later change to dry.
Amazing video and helpful as always, love your channel and love your book!
Thank you! 🙏
Well, great. Now I want a glass of wine. Another good video from Wine Folly. I love seeing Portugal's Esperão featured. They make great stuff.
Great information there is always something new to learn, Im usually an aged Marsanne or young Riesling drinker but you've given me some ideas!
Also the background music had me looking around the room for hidden ringing phones😂
I just tried pinot grigio and I really like it! Nice and fruity. Kind of like a moscato but drier.
The way you tell all of this makes my mouth water.
yes! job done.
In Germany we use the german word "Grauburgunder" or "Ruländer" for "Pinot Gris"
Love this channel
phenomenal video
wow, having a Slovenian wine in your videos, looks great. 🙂
hopefully not the last time as the country produces even more amazing wines ✌
I've had Riesling from MacGregor Vineyards on Keuka Lake that was crushed and macerated on the skins for a couple of days, then pressed & fermented in stainless steel. It had a mild tannic grip and good, typical flavor profile. Interesting, it could have used a couple more years of bottle age. Thanks!
Sounds exciting!
I'd trade out the "orange wine" for Viogner on my list.
Amazing video!
You are so kind
Thanks for a quick and easy explaination. Always wonder where to find the wine you talk about.
Hi 👋
Very well-organized! At first, I thought that my white wine tastes were favoring roughly Yin (unoaked, aromatic, food-friendly) versus the Yang (oaked, malolactic, and neutral-flavored). However, according to your categorization, I enjoy 5 of 6 big groups of white wines!
I live the yin yang ☯️ terminology idea for wine! It’s very right on!
Great video!
Thanks!
Great video. Also seems to be missing Viognier. I was also wondering how you tell which color each one is since they seem to be so much lighter than the colors on the card.
The card is for hue not necessarily saturation
Hey I'm finishing Matric so I have to study this and I can't seem to get my head to focus and these videos are helping me thank you so much 🙏
It‘s funny how even today the myth of Riesling as sweet wine is almost everywhere uphold; there are sweet Rieslings (and some of the most expensive wines in the world are) but the majority of Riesling in Germany are dry, and almost every Riesling from Elsace or New Zealand or the US are dry as well. …btw - the enthusiasm when you describe wines is awsome!
Do you have a video like this for red wines? Very much liked that you included similar wines grouped together. I'm also curious about wines that are typically dry vs wines that are typically sweet and those that typically fall in-between.
Not yet! Great question!
That Rkatsitelli is from Dr. Frank in the Finger Lakes of New York.
Great video, Madeline! But a little disappointed you didn't mention Muscadet!
Great wine! Melon would fall under the “pinot gris” style. It would have been a great wine to mention!
Italian Pinot 👌
Rkatsiteli is from Georgia ❤❤
I've noticed an increase in Pinot Gris with longer skin contact locally (Aus/NZ producers) giving the wine a pink hue. Would these wines therefore have higher tannin?
not necessarily. It's possible to get the color and not have the bitterness.
do a video on Chablis
Interesting that your own website has Trebbiano (Internationally), Muscat and Viognier (USA) as more popular than Gewürztraminer or Orange wine?!
It all depends on how you look at “popular”. in terms of plantings, trebbiano is very popular because it’s also the primary grape used for Balsamic vinegar! I chose these wines based on their stylistic differences and popularity (reach, acres) within those styles. Hope that helps explain the differing info
I have a question if you can help me please.
I find that Pinot Grigio is on the lower end of the price spectrum, is there such thing as a expensive white wine?
Yes, there is such a thing as expensive white wine! Pinot Grigio does tend to fall on the lower price spectrum - but not for lack of quality - you can find several producers in the Friuli and Alto Adige region in Italy producing top notch P.G. for around $40 (which is still a crazy value for what they are!)
Other varieties have a higher perceived value and charge even more. Riesling from the Mosel in Germany, high end Chardonnay from Burgundy go for hundreds of dollars a bottle.
is old chardonnay considered buttery?
Old wines develop more nuttiness through oxygen exposure. It's not the same winemaking process (malolatic fermentation). Of course, I can imagine you could describe an old white wine as buttery, but we're talking about a wine that would be 10 years old. Again, different process, and probably more 'nutty' vs. 'buttery'
I love that the lady looks tipsy from the get go.
Loureiro is from Galicia (Spain)
Yes! It's certainly cultivated in Galicia and Minho.
Is the pinot gris bitter? I hate bitter wine
depends on where it's from, but for the most part, it isn't. Bitterness in white wines comes from phenolics from the skins, so usually there's some kind of skin contact involved. Italian white wines when they're not sweet have traditionally had more phenolics. Personally, I'm a huge fan, but I get if you're not!
It's hilarious some of scents you "notice" when you sniff wine.
Thank you for this interesting review. However, Rkatsiteli origin is from Georgia, one of the first oldest wine-producing countries in the world. While other types are mentioned with the country-specificity, Rkatsiteli also deserves to be known as such. Eastern Europe is not a country. Cheers 🥂
Well, isn't Pinot Grigio named Grauburgunder in Germany?
Truth!!!
Ganz genau!
You always forget about Spanish wines and grapes. in your videos. Can you tell me why? . Albariño, Godello, Palomino, Macabeo, Verdejo, Airen, Pedro Ximenez, Parellada, Xarelo, Garnacha, etc, etc. Some of the best wines in the world are made with these grapes. You should have a broader and more impartial opinion in your comments.Thanks anyway. You make an excellent job, but also Spain exist.
We mention Albariño in this video!
@@Winefolly I'm sorry. I meant to say that you don't usually talk about Spanish wines and grapes with the value they really have in history and world map of wines. But I insist, I admire your work and learn a lot with you videos, I have bought your book and I am a follower. Hugs from Granada, Spain.
Since you are targeting new wine drinkers, you do a great disservice in talking about a basic grape and then switching the variety to a relatively unknown wine which can totally confuse the newbie! Please stick to the central thought of the video! On the other hand, a very interesting video for more advanced drinkers!
Well, Riesling-like is not Riesling. Taste and tell us something about the actual type you are mentioning. Do not mix up things without reason, specially if you deal with an audience who may not know anything about wine.
oh my apologies! Of course! A common grape might be totally unfamiliar to all. Sorry if I didn't run through the tasting notes on that one -
