Winter Whites – Bright Wines for Chilly Nights

Winter often gets associated with heavy reds, but don’t sleep on white wines during this cozy season! Whether you’re enjoying seafood, creamy pastas, or light vegetarian fare, there’s a winter white perfect for every dish.

Our Top Winter Whites and Maryland Wine Locations to find them:

• Chardonnay: A full-bodied, oaked Chardonnay warms the soul with its buttery notes and hints of vanilla. Pair it with roasted chicken or a creamy risotto.

  Try the Unoaked Chardonnay from Simple Theory Wines in Frederick, MD

• Viognier: Known for its aromatic floral notes and lush texture, Viognier is perfect with winter squash or spiced dishes.

  Looking for a local Viognier? Consider the Libertas Estates Viognier

• Gewürztraminer: A slightly off-dry Gewürztraminer is a beautiful companion for spicy foods, bringing balance and a touch of sweetness to the table.

  Try Cooper’s Hawk’s Gewürz­tramin­er
