After waiting my turn in line– I finally locked into some more of this beauty!
Tiefenbrunner sits high up in the Italian Alps in the small wine region of Alto Adige near the border of Switzerland. But though the region is tiny, its reputation spreads wide, from Decanter’s feature as one of the top food friendly regions in the world to Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate’s consistent heaps of praise, with Tiefenbrunner a frequent 94+ point recipient for their $100 single-vineyard wines.
In the 2019 vintage, winemaker Cristof Tiefenbrunner crafted a gorgeous Pinot Grigio in the steep hillsides in the shadow of the oft snow-capped Dolomites. It hits with bright citrus notes infused with mouth watering aromas of white flowers, pear, and saline minerality. As the weather continues to improve little by little, you’ll want a couple of bottles of this delicious Pinot Grigio chilled at the ready.
Oh yeah, if scores are your thing, it also has 91pts and an Editor’s Choice designate from Wine Enthusiast. All of this for an under $20 bottle of Italian white wine more than worthy of its place on 3-starred Michelin wine lists.

Aromas of honeysuckle, green apple and honeydew melon follow through to the juicy palate, along with a note of white peach. Tangy acidity lifts the rich flavors.

Stephan Steinmetz is a star in the Mosel wine region. His old vines are rooted in Kimmeridgian limestone, the exact same vein of rock that winds its way from Sancerre through Chablis and Champagne to its final out-cropping here in the Obermosel. His Elbling is glorious — both completely unlike anything I’ve ever had and also eerily familiar. The color is almost clear, some might call it silver. A stunning nose of green apples and lemon peel gives way to fresh pear and bright citrus fruits on the palate. It’s a stunningly focused wine with a healthy dose of minerality and acid zip, not unlike great Sancerre/Chablis and bone dry.
The 2016 vintage in Napa was nearly perfect for winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val). With ideal weather all throughout harvest, he crafted the Faustini Money Road Chardonnay off the famous vineyard located in the coveted Oakville AVA. The picturesque vineyard off Oakville Crossroad is platinum rated, known for its ideal combination of soil & climate and the big A list names that routinely source fruit. Kian’s Money Road Chard is still youthful despite having a few years of age, probably as a result of its 18 months of slumber in 1/4 new Oak.

“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
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.
