Nobody on the planet can boast the hot streak that Allan Scott is currently enjoying. The legendary New Zealand winemaker, who was the first to plant a vineyard in Marlborough in 1973 has become as important to NZ’s winemaking as Michel Rolland is to France, Alberto Antonini to Italy or some of the other greats.
For decades, he’s set the benchmark for winemaking in New Zealand, whether it be Sauvignon Blanc or any other varietal for that matter, though if there’s one thing NZ is known for it’s their zippy, fruity SBs. In terms of making those, Scott is the absolute best.
It started with his 2020 Allan Scott Sauv Blanc being recognized as one of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines. A perennial 90+ pointer, that wasn’t super surprising, though any time a New Zealand Sauv Blanc ends up in the Top 25 (it finished #23) is an occasion worth celebrating.
Luckily, Allan didn’t rest on his laurels. He followed up the 2020 vintage with his 2021 Marlborough SB that ended up winning Wine Spectator’s 2021 Wine Value of the Year – an insanely impressive honor. It really can’t be understated the amount of class, flavor and aromatics that Scott puts into a bottle. Truly unmatched.
Luckily for us, Scott shows no signs of slowing down. I was able to taste the brand new 2022 Sandy Cove Sauvignon Blanc at a tasting, and was completely blown away. I couldn’t find a ton out about the winery, but when I asked who made it, everything made sense – Allan Scott, of course.

From Soave Classico’s most privileged volcanic-limestone hillsides, comes a brand new release that is going to win a lot of people over. This is a high-tone northern Italian white bursting with white flowers, honeysuckle and stone fruits. Crisp and clean, finishing juicy and surprisingly long. A perfect complement to all kinds of seafood dishes, summer vegetables, poultry and light cheeses. There is no old-vine, small lot Pinot Grigio that exists for anywhere near the price of this one.
For years now, I’ve been absolutely delighted by the White Burgundies at Domaine Corsin. There’s really good reason for that. The Corsin’s holdings in Pouilly-Fuissé include many of the best situated sites in the appellation. This wine comes from a selection of older vines grown in these limestone soils. The current vintage is simply showing fantastic at the moment. The 2020 Corsin Domain’s Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vieilles Vignes’ displays a bright golden hue with a hint of green. Its subtle bouquet with a woody-vanilla note enhances the slightly sharp, sophisticated fullness on the palate mingled with a generous underlying impression of toasted bread.

“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
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.
