Naked Winery Hood River Tasting Room

Winter in the Pacific Northwest is all about staying dry. If you live here, you know what we mean. If you don’t, well…let’s just say the rumors are true. But this isn’t just a season for raincoats and Muck boots. The inclement weather also calls for dry wines: wines with almost no residual sugar, that are elevated in both alcohol content and acidity. These wines warm you from the inside out and pair well with the heavier meals we crave, especially on days when we’ve braved a chilly chairlift or simply watched rainfall from our windows. In honor of Naked’s Dry January (😉), we pulled together a few of our favorite dry wines and heart-warming recipes. Enjoy!
