White wine is an excellent compliment to appetizers and smaller dishes.
It is a companion to the light meal, and one that never fails to please. Fish, pountry, pasta and bread are accentuated greatly by a Chardonnay or a Sauvingnon Blanc. For this reason, white wine is becoming rapidly popular at receptions and luncheons, where a light taste is called for. There are a few basic differences between white and red wines. When creating white wines, grape skins are peeled away to seperate juice before the process of storing and fermenting takes place.
