White Wine

The most delicious and exotic version of this long-time favorite we've ever tasted. Think Viognier with a nice kick of cistrus and mouthwatering minerality. Hard to resist.

Lower ABV Always a great value (especially compared to Sancerre), this is the best vintage we’ve ever tasted here. The technical term is “yummy,” with crunchy, ripe, white grapefruit, stone fruit and green melon... Read More

Lower ABV From the shores of Lake Garda, this starts broad and then snaps into focus with a minerally bite. As the review says, “Nice drinking”!... Read More

A classic rich and buttery (but not too much!) Russian River Chardonnay with enough oak for spice. Big, ripe, aromas and flavors of yellow pear, apple, almond and more coat the palate nicely before cleaning up with a squirt of... Read More

Lower ABV From just outside Carcassonne in Limoux, a super fresh and nicely weighted no-oak Chardonnay value. Done all in steel, it serves up crisp green apple, tart peach, and crunchy yellow pear fruit with hints of white flowers... Read More

Organic/Bio The most mind-blowing Pinot Gris from the slightly insane grazing-based grape grower Stephen Hagen. As Wine Enthusiast said of the 93 point Perpetua I last year, “It's complex and leesy, with pear and melon... Read More

Lower ABV This is very high-end Gruner with depth and richness and intensity that lacks only the price of the most famous wines in Austria. From perfectly ripe grapes grown in the famous Wagram Ried Rosenberg vineyard, this is... Read More

Wicked good dry Riesling here from a fine single vineyard in the heart of Austria's Wagram region. Smells great and tastes even better, with bold notes of just squeezed lime, ripe peach, crushed slate and a nice sprinkling... Read More

Pretty much summer and seaside in a bottle here in a vibrant, juicy, take on Sardinia's leading white grape from the Island's very top estate. Yellow stone fruit, cistrus and salty minerality really pop. While this glides... Read More

The rare Albillo Real grape is all about richness of texture and salty minerality. Here it shows peach and apricot fruit with wild accents of fennel and seashore saltiness. The creamy apricot finish is a delight.

Rich and creamy Russian River Chardonnay with spiced pear fruit and juicy accents of fresh butter and cream. Hard to resist for fans of more full-bodied Chardonnay!

Jim Clendenen is sadly gone, but his legacy lives on at the winery that more or less put Santa Barbara on the wine map. This is fully ripe at 13.5 alcohol, shaped (but not overwhelmed) by malolactic fermentation and time in French... Read More

Perhaps the benchmark interpretation of Virginia's most important white grape, the 2022 Viognier from Barboursville is ripe and aromatic and finishes dry and fresh. Suckling's 93 point rave for the 2020 still applies:... Read More

Lower ABV With more than 300 years of history, the Jordan family is one of the most important and influential estates in Germany's Pfalz region. This is a great introduction to their work in the off-dry style. It tastes and... Read More

If you like Sancerre and Pouilly Fume and want to drink on a budget, this is for you! Of course, it's also for you if you just want a glass or two of really delicious Sauvignon Blanc at a nicely everyday price. Nicely ripe... Read More

From the most famous of Alsace's Grand Cru vineyards, this is deliciously compelling Riesling for all kinds of food. On the nose and palate, it's noticeably mineral and fresh, with bright notes of lemon, lime, tangy peach... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Ridiculously delicious and our only complaint here is that we couldn't get all we wanted. Brilliant ripeness and fruit bound up in almost steely minearlity and finishing long, ripe, mineral and mouthwatering.... Read More

Lower ABV Here’s a less grassy style of Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc that’s thirst quenching and refreshingly low in alcohol, too! Boatloads of passionfruit, pink grapefruit and melon on the nose and palate balanced by a big... Read More

Lower ABV Back in 1976, when Verdjo was nearly extinct in Rueda, Angel Rodriguez took cuttings from this dying 17th century vineyard and propagated them to keep the varietal alive. This is from those cuttings and if you want to... Read More

Lower ABV A great example of what lots of warm sunshine balanced by cold Atlantic Ocean air does with Albarino in Spain's Rias Baixas. Light in feel, broad in texture, loaded with gorgeous fruit and still stony, driving, and... Read More

Lower ABV In the cooler 2021 vintage, this is a lovely, handcrafted, classically-styled Albarino that will certainly shine with shellfish but is also just delicious to drink. There's a nice sense of fleshiness to the mango... Read More

Organic/Bio Lower ABV Valencia’s Verdil grape was once widespread but plantings plummeted through the 1980s. The grape gives wonderful fresh citrus fruit and a touch of salty minerality, but tends to oxidize easily –... Read More

Lower ABV There's more to Rias Baixas than Albarino: Treixadura shines, too! And this one is yummy with lots of lemon and lemon zest, fresh white flowers and a big does of the stony/salty/mineral flavors you'd expect from... Read More

Just marvelous, this is the essence of what white Rioja should be. Elegant, pure, with just enough oak to add spice and texture while still letting the glorious fruit shine through. White Rioja for Burgundy drinkers, ready now... Read More
