Notes
Choose a dry white wine that is light and refreshing. I suggest Pinot Grigio. It is an acidic wine that will mellow wonderfully with the sweet apple cider.
Other white wine options: pinot gris and New Zealand sauvignon blanc.
Stay away from sweet moscato or oaky chardonnay wines.
The labeling of "apple cider" vs "apple juice" varies from state to state.
In this recipe, apple cider refers to unfiltered pressed apples. It is juice that is a bit cloudy and thicker than your regular boxed apple juice.
