Colosi 2017 Grillo, Sicily, Italy (Geoff)
A simple crisp Sicilian white wine such as this Grillo can be the ideal pairing for fish, seafood, and more delicate cheeses. Third generation winemaker Pietro Colosi works with his father (also named Pietro) out of their cellar in the village of Messina. Aromas of jasmine and honeysuckle are followed by flavors of green apple, peach, apricot and the influence of the saline sea; mineral and crushed oyster shells. Bright, palate-cleansing acidity matches citrus-based sauces or cuts through cream-based dishes as well.

Named “242” for the vineyard Block 242 in the San Bernabe AVA of Monterey, this is a zippy, bright Sauvignon Blanc displaying ripe apple, nectarine and wet stone notes.

Walter Hansel 2015 Meadows Vineyard, Russian River Valley, California (Jess)
Walter Hansel makes some of our favorite Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, but their Chardonnay is definitely worth a look as well. This Chardonnay was bottled unfined and unfiltered from hand harvested, dry farmed grapes grown in the Meadows Vineyard, in the northernmost portion of the Hansel estate alongside Santa Rosa Creek. Aged for 10 months in 40% new French oak. This wine achieved a barrel sample score range from Robert Parker of (91-94pts), “this Chardonnay offers up concentrated notes of honeysuckle, baked apple pie, cinnamon and plenty of spice in a medium-to-full, refreshing zesty style.” Drink 2016-2021. This is an excellent value for a beautifully made Chardonnay.

Dominio Basconcillos 2016 Vina Magna Ribera del Duero, Spain (Tim)
Consider opting for this 100% Tempranillo from the northwest corner of Ribera del Duero, where the windy climate and hilly landscape provides cool respite from the hot valley below. Farmed entirely organically and biodynamically, this wine spends 6 months in barrique (60% French and 40% American) and exudes lush blackberry fruit and sage with easy tannins and present but moderate oak. Excellent pairing choice with grilled or braised meats.

This Gruner Veltliner is a great example of their affordable wines; a clean, crisp dry white exhibiting citrus notes with a white pepper finish. This would be delicious as an aperitif or paired with chicken or pork.
