Top BC White Wines for Winter 2023

As the colder months have arrived, many people look to heartier and more full-bodied drinks to help them get through the winter season.

While red wines are often thought of as the go-to option for the winter months, white wines can also be a delicious and refreshing choice.

The trick is to not serve these wines overly chilled.

From roasted chicken to stews and creamy pasta dishes, certain white wines can be a great match for many of the hearty meals that are popular during the colder months.

Whether you're sipping a glass on its own or pairing it with a cozy meal, a good white wine can be the perfect way to brighten up even the coldest of days.

Look for white grape varieties like Chardonnay, Viognier, and Marsanne for a wine with some weight.
