Pine Ridge Vineyards, in the heart of the Stag’s Leap District, is one of Napa’s greatest treasures and one of the coolest places you could check out. The gorgeous, sprawling property was founded by wine pioneer Gary Andrus in 1978 and has carried a reputation as one of Napa’s premier wineries and destinations ever since.
If you’ve ever visited this little oasis right off the Silverado Trail, then no doubt you were treated to the good life. Whether you’ve sat back in the tasting room admiring the view, strolled through the garden, or taken a tour through the vineyards and signature wine caves, you’ve probably been poured the CBV white blend, an explosive mix of Chenin and Viognier.
It’s surprising that a little white blend can be so good, but that’s the reason that this particular wine has been a staple at the winery since the mid-90’s and remains available to consumers for what Robert Parker, Jr. famously called “a preposterously low price.” It just hits way above its weight class. I don’t know whether it’s the unique clay and loam soil or the pure stainless steel ferment, but this just has an aromatic fireworks show unlike any I’ve had from a Napa white wine in quite some time.

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.
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.

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
Gold Medal (Best in Show), 2023 Mundus Vini International Tasting
The area has also been isolated from the rest of Spain for generations, which has kept the wine prices far lower than wines of this quality would be anywhere else in the world. That’s why, despite having the Torres family name on the bottle and the consistent huge press (including the Gold Medal & Best in Show at the 2023 Mundus Vini International Wine Awards in Germany), these wines can still be scooped up for under $20/bottle. It’s like the Sancerre pricing of yesteryear.
