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.

We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.

“Soaring lemon cream aromatics accented by notes of sea spray, lemongrass and beeswax mark this coastal Chardonnay from Flowers on the Sonoma Coast. The palate is fresh and linear. Oyster shell salinity, bee pollen and grilled lemon make for a savoury balance with delicate crushed chalk minerality.”
The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.

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
