Our latest restaurant wine list rescue and our first contender for White Wine Value of The Year is wound up little Vermentino from Piero Mancini. Why is Vermentino at the top of so many Michelin-starred wine lists?
Well – there’s a very special thing that happens when Vermentino is grown in the proper place, within the nearly constant salt water sea breezes. It takes on a salty, minerality that helps it pair so beautifully with great cuisine. Take it one step further and pair it with fresh seafood – and the whole experience is just lights out.
Nowhere is Vermentino better than within the Gallura region in Sardinia and few if any in Sardinia do it better than Piero Mancini. The prized jewel of his lineup, the Vermentino di Gallura, is a wonderful expression of the unique terroir from which its created– granite dominated soil set near the ocean in the Mediterranean.
It’s a glowing wine- one that is simply delightful to drink. Bright, vibrant notes of white peach, nectarine and candied apple with hints of the ocean brine, a chiseled backbone and a wonderfully tight finish.

The 2019 Vermentino di Gallura presents a seductive bouquet of ripe peaches and pears offset by hints of brown spice and white smoke. It’s medium-bodied yet deeply textural, ushering in a soothing wave of ripe orchard fruits, motivated by a core of juicy acidity. Nothing is out of place in this harmonious Vermentino as it finishes savory, salty and bristling with underlying tension. Give the 2019 another year of cellaring, and then enjoy with abandon.

“The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard marks the beginning of winemaker Joe Nielsen’s tenure at the winery. Pouring a medium yellow with a light golden hue, it’s most reserved of the flight aromatically at the moment, with yellow chamomile flowers, ripe peach, beeswax, and white flowers. Full-bodied, it retains excellent tension and focus on the palate, with apricot, orange zest, and a savory finish with a bit of spice. I suspect this will come around and open with time. Drink 2024-2030.” -Jeb Dunnuck

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.
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.
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.
