Table Wine
What is a good example of a dry table wine?
I'm on a low carb diet but in the past I would occasionally enjoy a glass of wine with dinner at a restaurant. I've read that dry table wines seem to be the lowest in carbs. What are some examples of a "dry table wine" that I could order at a casual restaurant? Please give me TYPES of wine and not BRANDS. I'm looking for something I could order just about any place I go. (Please keep the answers simple...I am not a wine nut!)
Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are both dry white wines. Sangiovese is a dry red wine.
Georgian feasting with tamada
Festive table menu provides a wide choice of the Georgian dishes and wines and strong drinks. Election of tamada adds another element of local flavor and exotic to the rare rituals of Georgian feasting; the latter imply special steps and stages, like selection of sorts of wines that suit best to the dishes and general atmosphere, appointment of the person with the rank of the deputy tamada, selection of glasses, goblets, drinking bowls that appear proper for the toasts to come, introduction of the guests to the "table codex", tamada's first toast... If a guest proves physical and spiritual endurance to the amounts of alcohol, and demonstrates the knack for eloquent rhetoric, singing and dancing, crowned with sense of humor and knowledge of the Georgian ways and traditions, he is bound to deserve the general admiration of guests and is viewed as the possible successor of Tamada – simply by outplaying his role and functions.
Exotic feast
