In terms of great, crisp white wines, very few hit the spot the same way as a delicious Albarino from Rias Baixas. A coastal winemaking region that’s almost entirely focused on making delicious salty and mineral whites, wines from Galicia have been made for centuries and are oftentimes spectacular. They also have the ability to mirror really well-made Chablis.
It’s one of those places where you had to get in early to get the prime real estate. These wineries have been passed down from generation to generation. Rias Baixas began gaining notoriety after the turn of the 20th Century, as a place where great white wines were being made.
Benito Santos was a big part of the Albariño movement in Rias Baixas, starting out as a young man working in his grandfather’s vineyards, making his own wine to serve in his bar. Soon his legend grew, and the locals encouraged him to enter wine competitions. He did, and he won them – over and over again, until Santos became a central instrument in founding the Rias Baixas D.O. in the 1980s.
He helped teach aspiring local winemakers his techniques, spawning a whole new generation of talent making salty, mineral and beautifully structured white wines that are a perfect seafood treat. No one can deny their appeal; not even one of the stingiest wine personalities in the world, Aldo Sohm.

Limpid gold. Vibrant, mineral-accented orchard and citrus fruit and floral qualities on the incisive, mineral-accented nose. Taut and sharply focused, offering zesty lemon pith, pear skin and bitter quinine flavors that deepen through the midpalate. Shows impressive definition and solid mineral thrust on the long, nervy finish, which leaves a spicy ginger note behind.

Sonoma Coast is well-known as a cool-climate region, perfect for growing Chardonnay. That’s why it’s such a big deal for Route Stock to transition over for the first time from Carnernos over to here. The newly released 2022 beams freshness and comes packed with a delightful energy in its youth. It has a pale straw color with lime hues. The aromas are of honeysuckle, orange blossom and creme brulee with layers of vanilla and a hint of toffee. The palate is lively yet soft with flavors of lemon cream pie and merange.
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.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.

Of course, the Trefethens’ Chardonnay history is well documented. It dates back to the Judgement of Paris and the 1979 Wine World Olympics hosted by the French publication Gault & Millau, where their Chardonnay finished first overall. That pursuit of excellence is still just as strong as ever, as evidenced by the family’s most recent Chardonnay bottling. It’s a 93-point beauty that absolutely dazzles, especially at its incredibly modest price tag.
