Balestri Valda Soave 2018 needs to be the star of your next summer feast. The perfect complement to any meal of intensely flavored tomatoes, sweet corn and the fluke, scallops and oysters of the Jersey shore, my bet is that if you are drinking Pinot Grigio you need to give Balestri Valda a try. Guido, Laura and Luca Rizzotto organically farm old vines of Garganega and Trebbiano in the rolling hills of Soave, creating high-toned, delicious white wines.
Their Soave Classico 2018 is wonderfully aromatic, redolent of white nuts and jasmine. It’s concentrated and juicy, with a long, electric finish. This is a house white, perfect by itself, or paired with just about anything. The cost is crazy. Stock up!
There is no Pinot Grigio in the world that is farmed organically, sourced from old vines on mineral soil and made in tiny quantities and only costs $14.40 a bottle on cases. I don’t understand the business plan yet, but I’ll take it. Crazy good, crazy cheap, stock up!

For a rainy day, it’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. Every grape at Roc des Anges is picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has rich fruit, vibrant minerality, and a beautiful bouquet of aromas.
This wine is textbook Sancerre Blanc from the village of Bué, the highest in elevation in Sancerre with the most calcareous soil. It is a chiseled, tightly wound and incredibly complex Sauvignon Blanc, which I’d argue is one of the best in the world. In the 2019 vintage, the Carrou has a brilliant pale green color and soaring aromatics of green apples, pear and jasmine.
The 2017 Riesling Feinherb has 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. If Riesling is your cup of tea, this one is not too dry, not too sweet but just right.
The old vines at Domaine de Loye are rooted in deep limestone, and dry, limestone-infused clay. This mineral soil adds great vibrancy to their Sauvignon, loaded with aromas and flavors of white flowers, lime-blossom and citrus fruit. The 2018 Menetou-Salon is juicy enough to be delicious on its own poolside and but with a nervy, high-toned backbone that makes it perfect at any table.
