What wine would you pair with a Virginia ham?
I’m going to a friend’s Easter dinner on Sunday, and the meat course is a traditional Virginia baked ham.
Previously, where I went for Easter every year alcohol was not allowed.
What wine tastes best with ham?

A white zinfandel, a reisling, or a blush would seem good choices to me. A svenska red might also work. I spelled reisling wrong I think.
It’s riesling.
Red – Pinot Noir White – Gewurztraminer

A white Rhine wine or a light red. Is this the very salty smoked ham or a sugar cure? Thw whites would be better for the saltier ones. Gewurstraminer Reisling or the like, Alsatian whites, etc.

The rule would be white, but I prefer the red. I would go with a Sangiovesie
A dry sparkling white like Asti Spumante; not too sweet to counter the sweetness of the ham.
I would recommend Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is a lovely wine, and would be perfect with ham.
And it’s a New York vintner, too! Bonus! @tim,-Pretty_Lilly-drewen I went to look that up, and this was the first hit. Bwahahahaha!
I would recommend a dry rose, Sauvignon Blanc, or Vinho Verde.
