I figured if I’m going to offer up three great white wines that you might not be familiar with, it’s only right I throw it in a sampler pack at a killer introductory price for those of you who take the leap. This is the ultimate spring sipper case, perfect for hosting or for sipping by the pool. Crisp, mineral white wines that cost less than $20/btl but taste like a $50. My kind of wine. This year, I snagged one great selection from each of Europe’s Big 3 winemaking countries…
Each sampler case includes 4 bottles of each of the following:
Familia Torres Celeste Sur Lies Verdejo 2021 (92 pts, James Suckling)
Domaine Saint Amant Côtes du Rhône La Borry 2020 (Crisp, high-altitude French white)
Brunori Verdicchio ‘Le Gemme’ 2021 (Day 1 staple at Restaurant Nicholas and Balthazar)
Glistening pale yellow-green to the rim, infused with mouth-watering aromas of ripe apple, pear and quince, and crushed almonds with honey and rich creamy middle and a fantastic rush of acidity and minerality that are present throughout. A calling card of Bonhomme’s Vire-Clesse, if you closed your eyes and took a sip, it would have you convinced you were drinking Meursault at least a 3x price tag.
For those of you looking for a semi-dry Riesling to pair with seafood, salads, pastas or poultry, you don’t have to look any further. Ratzenberger is a benchmark in the region and their consistency in making expressive, classy Riesling continues with the newly released 2019 Kabintt Feinherb. It manages to bring to the table savory, sweet and tangy acidic notes. It’s a versatile bottle of white, that’s for sure.
96 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
With Ron’s son Chad the head of winemaking, Melville’s winery has reached never before seen heights. Chad’s 2021 Estate Chard just knocked the cover off the ball – coming in at 96 points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. This one hits on all cylinders and is an amazing value to boot. It’s a must-have cellar selection for Burgundy and Coastal Chardonnay lovers alike. You can smell the ocean in the glass followed by waves of lime, white pineapple with a kiss of honey and lemon zest.
If you’ve never had one of José Manuel Martínez’s wines, you’re in for an absolute treat. Jose’s estate, Couselo is located in the northern tip of Portugal in Rias Baixas. It’s a coastal wine, sourced from old and savvy Albariño vines. It’s a terrific wine that mixes wonderful stony minerality with a creamy, long finish that makes it both fantastic with anything from the sea but also just as good with a pre-meal apertif. There’s no better under $25 Labor Day white.
