My husband loves red wine and I love white. We are having dinner tonight and he wants to try white wine so I want to get something not too sweet (or expensive). Ideas?

I really only like red wine too (cabernet & merlot). The only white wine that I particularly like is Gewurtraminer (spicy, but not sweet). I don’t really care for most Reislings or Chardonnays

Try chardonnay or sauv blanc, these tend to be more on the “dry” side. “Dry” means less sweet. Some chardonnays are “oaky” and some are not. Some people prefer an oaky taste, while others do not – it’s one of those wines that can be a little tricky to choose for someone else, unless you know their preferences.
I’d suggest a bottle of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. This is a lovely wine that is well balanced. I find that everyone seems to enjoy this wine from New Zealand.
