What is a mellow tasting white wine?
Kim and Jim asked:
Im trying to find a very MELLOW tasting white wine. Im so tired of buying wine that I think Im going to like and then getting home and hating it! I had a glass of white wine at the Olive Garden a while ago that was sooo good! It was so easy going down almost like water! Any suggestions?

What I mean by mellow is not to tart or sweet. I like wine that you can hardly taste…. but yet is still crisp!

i don’t know what you mean by “mellow”, but personally i love Viognier. it’s light and very floral. Smoking Loon makes a nice affordable Viognier, but there are many different vineyards which produce it.

I depends on what your definition of mellow is…not to get all Clinton-esque on you. Personally I tend to like Pinot Grigios because they generally aren’t too sweet or dry. Robert Mondavi has a great one and so does Cavit. Both are clean and crisp. Savignon Blancs are pretty good too. The Mondavi label makes pretty good wines all around. I haven’t found one that I disliked and it is pretty afordable.

Try something sweet and stay away from wines that are described as being “dry”. And don’t let a waiter tell you what to drink with which meal – if you like a wine, than that is what you should drink regardless of “the rules.” A sweet wine is technically a desert wine but I like it with all sorts of entree’s so that is what I order.
My personal favorite is St. James Winery Velvet White, Sweet White Wine. It comes from St. James MO and I convinced my local store to stock it for me ‘cos driving to Missouri every couple of months got old quick. It is also a very inexpensive wine (less than $10) and oh so very very good. Try it, you’ll like it!
St. James also has several other varieties that are just as delicious so try them all if you can find the label.
Another favorite is Camelot Mead, a honey based wine from Oliver Winery in Bloomington Indiana. Still under $10 and very very Delicious. If you like to spend big money on wine, you MUST try Oliver’s Ice Wine, by far the best taste I have ever had in my mouth ever… but it will set you back about $50 a bottle. Worth it though I must say.
ps. If you can not get either of these in your area, try a Riesling. It is a German style white desert wine and most varieties are less than $10.

I’m no wine drinker by any means, but I have tried Arbor Mist and found it to be a very VERY inexpensive lite tasting wine. And there are several flavors. Right now I have cranberry in the fridge. We opened it to go with our thanksgiving dinner. Seemed like a perfect match.

If you want a wine you can hardly taste, why drink wine? Water is much cheaper and widely available.
That said, give France a try. La Bicyclette or La Vielle Ferme make nice, crisp, inexpensive white wine but you will get some lemon / citrus flavor.
Cheers!
