on 7/8/2008 Greatfunmoms...actually I cheat. I have no idea about wines so i just use whatever white wine i can find. Seems to work ok. I have used different ones but it is such a small amount I never really noticed a difference.

on 7/4/2008 Great recipe! Those are ingredients that I use for cooking very often. I dind't know there is a dry white wine, all I know just the liquid wine! Where do you get that?
