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.

Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.
92 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling
The winery could never expected their Tuscan Vermentino would become as integral as it has – even 25 years later, it’s still a key piece of the puzzle for Campo Maccione. It’s an unassuming wine with great viscosity and bright, savory flavors that way overdelivers for the price. James Suckling agreed, as did Wine Enthusiast. Suckling gave it a 90 and deemed it “an interesting take on Tuscan Vermentino.” Wine Enthusiast took it up a few notches, attaching a coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate to the wine along with a 92-point review for the wine “with a sophisticated restraint.”
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.
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.
