60 miles further north than the rest of Burgundy – the wines can really struggle unless conditions are perfect – both with the weather and in the cellar. Great Chablis have an acidity that attacks your tastebuds, but too often in the lesser wines this goes unchecked – and unfortunately, too many of the top wines are overly saturated in wood – masking what makes Chablis great.
So believe me, I’ve tried. But over five years of tasting, I’ve just never found enough of a truly great Chablis at a reasonable price. Not only does that change today – but this wine is a walk-off homer at under $25 (when added to a case).
The Vocorets are one of the oldest producers in Chablis – and still family owned and operated today. Founded in 1870 – they’ve been through the highs and lows. In the late 1800s and early twentieth century, Chablis was THE WHITE WINE of the Parisian bistro set. Barges would jam the River Seine for months out of the year – bringing wine directly into the city.
But then Phylloxera ravaged the vineyards and when railroads replaced the rivers for commercial transport – Chablis was passed over. Many sold (or even abandoned) their vineyards, but not the Vocorets. They simply dusted themselves off – relocated vineyards and got the next generation ready to take over.

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.
Just in time, we got back Vincent Ricard’s all-time great white wine bargain. This is a crisp, clean and flat out delicious Loire Valley Sauvignon Blanc. The protege to the Silex-style of Dagueneau – who over the last 15 years has produced flawless and beloved white wines that at last count were on the wine lists of over 36 Michelin-starred restaurants. This is a great house white and one that can surely hold its own with just about everything on the table.
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.”
One of the best places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. And within Asti, there is no white wine calling card that holds a candle to Moscato. Here it is king. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Moscato is the product of old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. This is serious, high-quality and hand-harvested Moscat, that oozes with sweet tropical fruits and a hint of minerality that stays on your tongue with each sip. This is also the perfect wine for anyone searching for a low alcohol option as well.
