Good Morning…
I was wondering if you could help me…
I live in Kingsville, and enjoy dry white wine.. but have recently discovered that I have an allergy to Oaked wines and ones that contain Sulphate..
I tend to enjoy, Pelee wines, Erie Shores, and Mastonardi wines..
Do you have any suggestions on which dry white wines do not contain either oak or sulphate..
Thanks
Sincerely
R. K.

Getting around the oak isue should not be much of a problem. On the other hand I believe that all local wineries do use some sulphates in the cleaning of the bottle and as a preservation agent.
Pelee Island Winery is pretty good at putting sulphates on the label, but I do not recall seeing it listed on other local winery labels. However sulphates are probably in the wine.
I will send an email off to some of the local wineries in the area to se what they say. In the mean time i suggest when you visit a winery ask them about the sulphates.
Now, as for white wines with no oak you do not have to go too far. Aleksander Estate Winery has a riesling (although the new one is a bit sweet and you may not consider it a dry wine). It’s unoaked and very nice.
For me, a local dry white is usually a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris.
Muscedere’s has a nice Sauvignon Blanc that is not oaked, and Sprucewood has a nice Pinot Gris that also is not oaked.
If you consider a chardonnay a dry wine, you don’t have to go too far to find a nice unoaked one at a great price. Head over to Mastronardi Estate Winery and get their Casa Nostra Chardonnay.
When I hear more about Sulfates, I will send you an email.
