What dry white wine - not brand - just type of wine should I use in a fish or chicken recipe?

[sneezles]

You could use a sauterne or savigioun (sp) blanc.

Whatever kind you are drinking!

Thanks, sneezles. I don't care for wine - just like to use it in cooking.

I always use the Pisano wines for cooking. I use the light chianti for meat sauces, and I use the chablis for fish and chicken. Pisano is a jug wine found at most grocery stores.

Yes. You're right. http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/redface.gif Somehow my brain was thinking "chablis" when I typed that. If there's actually a "dry sauterne" out there somewhere, I honestly don't know...

If you're not drinking it, logically you're going to probably go with something modestly priced. Besides the sauterne and sauvignon blanc (you may also see some sauvignon blancs labeled fumé blanc), chardonnay would be okay. Julia Child, I understand, likes to use dry vermouth for her dry white wine.
