Fume Blanc is a perfect wine for cooking and drinking for those that do not like Rieslings. The addition of brown sugar and cinnamon will compensate for the sweetness found in a Riesling. The perfect Fume Blanc for this dish is Becker Vineyards Fume Blanc. With the ingredients used for the sauce, it will only have a hint of sweetness. It is perfect over pork or chicken.
