\"White<\/a>Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and then there\u2019s more Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.\u00a0 And yeah, there\u2019s the occasional Riesling or Viognier to take a break from Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.\u00a0 But isn\u2019t there more to fine white wine than the hegemony of the usual triumvirate?\u00a0 And what are some other great white wines?\u00a0 The world\u2019s full of fine white wines that don\u2019t receive the attention they deserve.\u00a0 For starters, how about Falanghina?\u00a0 Don\u2019t try to pronounce it.\u00a0 Even in Italian, the name Falanghina (an indigenous grape variety of Italy\u2019s Campania) doesn\u2019t exactly roll off the tongue.\u00a0 Bright, fruity, soft, seductive, yet dry and refreshing, a growing number of first class Campanian producers are sending Falanghina our way.\u00a0 Try it!\u00a0 The same can be said for Greco and Fiano di Avellino, two super premium grape varieties from Italy\u2019s alluring Amalfi Coast.<\/p>\n

Greco and Fiano di Avellino are truly beautiful white wines that drink well alone and with food, especially seafood.\u00a0 Verdicchio is another crowd pleasing white wine from Italy that is now better than ever.\u00a0 Gruner Veltliner, Austria\u2019s iconic white grape variety, also deserves to be better known.\u00a0 It makes a wonderful aperitif, and it pairs beautifully with Asian and Fusion cuisines.\u00a0 Gewurztraminer is another unsung hero.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the few white wines that can hold up to heat and heady Asian stir fries as well as rich p\u00e2t\u00e9s and smoked meats.\u00a0 Gewurztraminer is never outclassed by the food, and it can be enjoyed as an aperitif or in place of dessert.\u00a0 And these grapes are just a few of the great white varietals that abound.\u00a0 So, why not really step outside of the Chardonnay\/Sauvignon box?<\/p>\n
