Did you know that sweet onions are grown all over the world? Here in Georgia they are called Vidalia onions, Texas claims “Texas Sweets”, Washington state grows “Walla Walla Sweets” and Hawaii, Bermuda and France all grow sweet onions, too.

MAN Chenin Blanc
South Africa
About $15
Chenin Blanc hails from the Loire Valley in France, but grows deliciously in South Africa too! Man Vintners Chenin Blanc is crisp, clean and refreshing with enough body to stand up to the creamy pungent onion dip. A find for about $15. Great with this dip and its crunchy spring veggies.
