If I’m going to bring you a brand new varietal, I’m going for one of the best. This is a beauty from Damien Rineau pulled from his 17-hectare Domaine La Tour Gallus. This site has been farmed by fathers and sons for nine consecutive generations – and the incredible Alluvial soil type here, lends a ton of potassium, magnesium and calcium deposits to the vines, allowing for optimal growth.
Take that and the ‘Cru Communal’ designate this site received in 2011 (one of the first 3 in the entire region) and all of a sudden, you have a true ringer– a perfect white wine for the here and now.

90+ Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2020 La Tour Gallus presents a delightful and refreshing bouquet with hints of pear, menthol and spring flowers, complemented by both exotic and maritime notes. Perfectly balanced and moderately weighted, it’s juicy and lively with bright acids and a mineral and iodine-inflected finish. This is a strong effort from Damien Rineau.

Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the widely praised 2021 vintage where quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
The newly released Riesling Feinherb 2021 is a lively, juicy wine with an elegant bouquet of minerals, wet stone and ripe fruit. On the palate, the wine’s slight off-dry component is beautifully balanced by the steely acidity typical of the Mosel. Because this is freshly released, the fruit is vibrant and succulent and it comes in somewhere between off-dry and semi-sweet. It’s a great example of Riesling, especially at the price.
From just west of Sancerre, Vincent’s vines are tended organically in flint-laden, calcareous soil which lends a great brightness to the wine. The wine is crisp and aromatic Sauvignon, and is a superb choice for a “cocktail” wine, as an aperitif or to accompany just about anything from sea.

If you’ve never heard of Bisci, let’s start here. Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate called Giuseppe Bisci’s Verdicchio “one of the finest I’ve ever tasted,” and noted that “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” A staple at $85/bottle for both French Laundry and Eleven Madison Park. “Verdicchio is one of the joys of Italian oenology that rarely gets the respect it deserves, and few producers do it better than Bisci.” – The Wine Advocate
