How do I make a white wine sauce?
I have tried a few times using - same pan I used for frying fish/chicken, then adding butter, shallots, flour, white wine and seasoning, but it always comes out rather bland and sour. Any tips please?
Try the following
White wine sauce
1 tub/jar shop bought white wine sauce
110g/4oz Gorgonzola, cubed
50g/¾oz rocket or baby spinach, roughly chopped
2 tbsp toasted walnuts
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. In a medium saucepan heat the white wine sauce then add the cheese and allow to melt.
2. Check the seasoning. Just before serving add the rocket or spinach and the walnuts.
or Chicken in white wine sauce
4 skinless chicken breasts
1 onion, roughly chopped
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 stick celery, roughly chopped
1 bay leaf
6 black peppercorns
30g/1oz butter
30g/1oz flour
150ml/¼ pint white wine
1 free-range egg yolk
2-3 tbsp double cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
squeeze lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Method
1. Place chicken breasts into a large pan. Add the vegetables, bay leaf and peppercorns and cover with water.
2. Place the pan over a low heat and slowly bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through.
3. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon, place onto a plate and keep warm.
4. Strain the cooking liquid into a bowl, reserving 450ml/¾ pint.
5. Melt the butter in a clean pan over a medium heat. Add the flour and stir well to make a roux. Slowly add the reserved chicken stock to the roux, stirring constantly, to make a thick sauce.
6. Add the white wine and bring to the boil.
7. Place the egg yolk and the cream into a clean bowl and lightly whisk together. Gradually add the egg mixture to the sauce, stirring well.
8. Remove from the heat, season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper and add a squeeze of lemon juice.
9. Cut the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the sauce.
10. To serve, spoon out into warmed bowls and garnish with chopped parsley.
An Introduction to Wine : Food & Wine Pairing with White Wine

The Difference Between Red and White Wine
1. Taste
The difference in taste between red and white wines is pretty significant. Due to the process, white wine comes out much lighter and fruity (perfect for beginners), while red wine has a much heavier and complex flavor.
2. Process & Color
When fermented, the grapes used to make red wine release tannins that contribute to the deep red or burgundy color. With white wines the skin, stems, and seeds are not present in the fermentation process and without the tannins to release their color the wine comes out white.
3. Age
Red wines are typically aged much longer then white wines. This is because of the tannins, which help preserve the wine. White wines that contain a much lower amount of tannins cannot be aged like red wine can.
4. Serving Temperature
Red wine is served at room temperature in a balloon glass. While white wine is served chilled in a long stemmed glass (which you hold by the stem to avoid warming your chilled wine).
5. Antioxidants
Your doctor may tell you to drink a glass of red wine with dinner to stay healthy because it contains antioxidants. But white wine also contains antioxidants. They’re much smaller, which actually makes them easier to absorb.
6. Pairing
When serving wine with food, pair your meal with the wine that compliments it best. White wine goes well with white meats and light foods, such as fish, chicken or pork. Red wine goes best with red meat and heavier tasting foods.

What is the best dry white wine this holiday season?
My new father-in-law is a very picky wine drinker. He only likes European dry white wine. Which wine do you think is the best?
That's a tough one. Not many European whites are very dry. Maybe something Italian?
