As Antonio Galloni noted, Graham Tatomer is one of the most unlikely superstars in American wine. If you want to make a name for yourself in this country, usually you have to do it making Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon or Chardonnay. Or all three. Graham Tatomer does not.
His obsession with the Loire Valley and Alsatian whites has brought him to southern California where he makes Riesling and Gruner Veltliner. But despite the odds being firmly against him, Tatomer has become like a cult vineyard in the 20 years it has been around – making some of the greatest cool-climate white wines this country has ever seen. What started off as a 400 case gigantic gamble has turned into a 4100 case super competitive allocation.
As Galloni said, “Graham Tatomer presented a phenomenal set of 2021s.” You’re not going to find a better white wine value in the states than this baby right here.

The 2021 Gruner Veltliner Meeresboden is the more aromatic of the two Gruners in the range. White flowers, jasmine, mint, pear, marzipan and citrus lend gorgeous effusive energy. The Meeresboden is a blend of John Sebastiano and Kick-on Ranch. The polished bright finish is a thing of beauty. The 2021 was aged in 80% tank and 20% acacia. Graham Tatomer has presented a phenomenal set of 2021s.
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.
The Zenato family has built up quite the reputation for delivering exceptional value with their red and whites in Veneto. Their Pinot Grigio is a particularly great value, punching way above its weight class. Delicately scented and soft on the palate, it offers classic citrus and floral notes in a balanced elegant style. It’s smooth and refreshing with a long, pleasant finish. Great with food.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
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.
