Tips
Citrusy dry wines like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio work really well, while sweet white wines like Moscato or Rieslings don't pair well.
The flavor of white wine is a bit less strong than a bold red. Make sure that your herbs are nearly powdered before adding to make sure they don’t overwhelm the white wine flavor in your salt!
You can dehydrate using an oven on the lowest setting, an actual dehydrator at 125 degrees, or let it air dry, stirring often.
