The white 2017 Albillo Viñas Viejas comes from the toughest harvest in recent years, a growing season marked by severe frosts followed by a warm summer and an early harvest. Despite everything, the wine is only 13% alcohol and has a pH of 3.14, meaning there's a lot of freshness here despite being harvested after some of the earlier reds. The grapes come from organically farmed vines at an average of 880 meters in altitude in the village of La Aguilera, where the soils are rich in red clay, limestone and sand. This is the Albillo Mayor from Ribera del Duero, unrelated to the other Albillo (Real, Criollo...) from vines that are over 100 years old, some ungrafted. The clusters were foot trodden, and the juice put in oak casks to ferment slowly with indigenous yeasts and without stirring the lees or anything, using minimum doses of sulfur. The wine matured in oak barrels for 35 months before it was hand bottled without being filtered or fined. This has a very Burgundian profile—it's aromatic, expressive, open, smoky, spicy and flinty. But this overdelivers for the adverse conditions of the harvest; it has very good balance and is tasty, intense and chalky, not quite reaching the electricity of the 2016, but it has its character. This is approachable now, perhaps not as long lived as the 2016 but perhaps easier to understand by a wider audience. A real triumph for the vintage. Bravo!

Dry Creek Vineyard founder David Stare insisted on planting Sauvignon Blanc when he founded his Sonoma winery in 1972. He wasn’t following any trends, but doing his best to imitate his favorite white wines, which came from France’s Loire Valley. Now with his daughter Kim Stare Wallace in charge, the family has maintained its commitment to this bottling. It will always be called Fumé Blanc (even though other wineries have long since abandoned the term); it will always be bone-dry, showing flavors of citrus along with herb and grass notes; and it will always be fermented in stainless steel, without any oak influence. Stare Wallace has been putting more focus and energy on the Sauvignon Blanc program of late, and the results have been impressive. “Dad lucked out that he planted what he liked to drink,” Stare Wallace says, and Sauvignon Blanc lovers have lucked out that Dry Creek continues to produce this outstanding wine. 29,000 cases made.—MaryAnn Worobiec

"Ecco Domani Pinot Grigio offers light citrus and delicate floral aromas, tropical fruit flavors and a crisp, refreshing finish. The grapes for this wine were gently crushed and pressed, and the juice was allowed to cold settle prior to fermentation in upright stainless steel tanks for three weeks at an average temperature of 64°F. The wine was aged sur lie for two months and then on light lees until bottling to preserve a clean and full mouthfeel." Winemaker notes
The three regions of Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto encompass the delle Venezie IGT in northeastern Italy. This high altitude region is ideally suited to producing crisp, elegant Pinot Grigio grapes.

The one white here was produced with grapes from different old vineyards in different parishes of the village of Manzaneda (Soutipedre, Seoane, Langullo) within the Val do Bibei and is a blend of approximately 50% Godello, 25% Dona Branca and the remaining 25% a mixture of varieties, including Treixadura, Colgadeira and Palomino, etc. The current release is the 2018 Conasbrancas, from a very cold and rainy vintage, when they fermented 70% of the grapes with full clusters in plastic bins and the rest pressed and fermented in barrique. The wine matured in used 300- and 500-liter oak barrels for seven months with the lees but without batonnage. It has a characterful nose, with no oak whatsoever, very floral, with intense notes of pollen. The palate is terribly balanced, with pungent flavors and integrated acidity, effervescent and sharp, with a salty finish. The effect of the skins is quite subtle, and there's no visible color or tannin. Perhaps it has been polished by the time in oak. It has good depth and is quite complete.

"A blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Chardonnay, the Cazin Cheverny features bright citrus aromas and complex mineral notes. The palate is deep, surprisingly full-bodied, with great acid and remarkable length. The Sauvignon Blanc stays on the lees until the end of November." Importer notes
Located in the eastern Loire, just south of Blois, the little known appellations of Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny are a must for any fan of Loire wines. Cheverny, the larger of the two appellations, consists of Sauvignon dominated wines while the tiny Cour-Cheverny zone must be made from the ancient Romorantin variety. Both zones have clay, limestone and silica soils. Francois Cazin hand harvests his old vines at yields that are well below average in any given year. His Cheverny is fresh and floral, with appley-texture and crisp acidity. The flavors are sleek and precise. The Cour-Cheverny has high acidity, stunning minerality and an almost tactile texture. In very good years, Francois makes a later harvested Cuvee Le Renaissance, which typically has between 15 and 25 grams of residual sugar. The Renaissance is always balanced by high acidity, often between 4 and 6 grams.

This coastal wine screams salty summertime sunshine, despite its rainy origin. Margarita like lime kick with all kinds of beach fizz, briny ocean water and notes of aloe. A classic Getariako Txakoli style to quench your adult thirst this summer.
Approximately 20 minutes west of San Sebastian, nestled into the rolling green hills of Gipuzkoa, dramatically overlooking the Atlantic coast of northern Spain, you’ll find Ganeta. Along the way you’ll encounter the port, the people and the vines that dwell in Spain’s most tiny DO Getariako Txakolina.
Since the late 1980’s, Julian Ostolaza and Itziar have tended to 17 ha of Hondarrabi Zuri and Hondarrabi Beltza that hang on pergolas along the Getarian coast of Pais Vasco. They are about as local as you can imagine, and the essence of this special region.
They sustainably farm and produce the classic style of Txakolinas of the Getariako region ? slightly effervescent, briny, incredibly dry and lively. The wines are produced in inox, with nothing added except SO2. Julian hopes that the simplicity of production will allow the complexity of the nature that defines the terroir to shine in the wines.

2017 was a tough year when fires raged in Chile among the vineyards. Many of the old vineyards survived when they acted as fire streets and, in order not to risk the wines smelling smoke, this wine was made without skin contact. The wine was a success and therefore one will continue to make this unique "blanco de tinto". (white wine of red grapes). To imitate the bird Phoenix from the mythology, this wine was renamed Phoenix Ferment. One can literally say that this wine originated from the ashes of the terrible fires.
Delicious white wine with a slightly oily texture, notes of honeysuckle and marmalade.

Winemaker's Notes:
"Our Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown in various microclimates of the Napa Valley. The warmer Napa Valley microclimate gives us grapes with melon and citrus characteristics in both aroma and flavor. The cooler areas of Napa Valley provide fruit with a solid, crisp backbone that gives the wine an exciting liveliness and balances the rich creaminess from "sur lie" aging."

The cooler areas of Napa Valley provide fruit with a solid, crisp backbone that gives the wine an exciting liveliness and balances the rich creaminess from "sur lie" aging."

Fiano was once considered one of Italy's great white varities. Unfortunately, this reputation was lost as production levels ballooned to boost the export market and the increased strain on yields diluted the grape's personality.
Guido Marsella founded his winery in 1995 with a nostalgia for Fiano's glory days and a drive to produce the greatest expression of the grape possible. His Fiano shows the real potential of the grape when grown and vinified carefully in a high altitude and mountainous zone.
From his seven organically farmed hectares of Fiano at 650 meters, Guido produces only 500 to 800 cases of Fiano per vintage. The soils are primarily rocky with a limy-clay subsoil. All of the Fiano on Guido's property comes from one 7 hectare vineyard in Summonte, the highest point in Avellino. (Guido and Ciro Picariello are neighbors.) The wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel with some fine lees contact. He bottles after twelve months and lets it rest in bottle for another year before it is released.

Austrian born gruner veltliner offers one of the best white wine values in the world, especially when they come in the generous 1 liter size, as the Hofer does. Lots of Jolly Rancher lime, mixed with a tart peach and a cut of stone. This is the ideal party wine; always a go-to for us whenever we need to entertain for more than ten, and an absolute must when the crowd exceeds 20. Wines like this are the reason we get so frustrated at events whenever "cheap wine" is poured from the troth. Why? Why serve garbage when for the same money there are stellar, well-made, honest, refreshing wines like this? The cool crown cap doesn't hurt either! - PJ

Monterey’s combination of moderate climate and marine influences from the Pacific Ocean keep the grapes on an even keel, able to develop fully ripe flavors that tend to show some lemon and lime zest, a touch of ripe apple and tropical aromas and flavors. This wine is crisp and clean with well-balanced acids.

Winemaker's Notes:
Eastern Washington’s low annual rainfall and cool nights during the growing season make it the perfect area for producing consistently great late harvest wines. The Hogue Cellars has developed a style of late harvest Riesling that is crisp yet moderately sweet. The wine was produced from select Riesling vineyards where the fruit can ripen to the required 24°+ Brix. At that level of ripeness, the wine develops its trademark tangerine/apricot flavor. Zesty aromas of orange, lemon-lime and peach are followed by flavors of tangerine, apricot and a trace of mineral. Serve with poached pears, apple pie or a cheese platter of Stilton, smoked Gouda and fresh goat cheese. It’s also excellent served well chilled as an aperitif.

The 2017 Riverstone Chardonnay exhibits youthful hues of light to medium straw. The enticing aromas are reminiscent of peach, nectarine, marmalade, yellow floral, baking spices, and honey. Those aromas echo on the palate and are complemented by orange and apricot, and balanced with a creamy texture from aging sur lie. Flavors of creme brulee and a touch of oak can be found on the long finish.

Established in 1998 by longtime winemaker for Verget Jean Rijckaert, who fell in love with the terroir in both the Macon and Jura, this unique estate has cellars and produces wine in both regions. Without heirs, Jean partnered with his brilliant student Florent Rouve and groomed him until he was ready to take over managing the estate and all winemaking in 2013. The “savoir-faire” that made the outstanding reputation of these wines ? restricted yields, manual harvesting, slow and moderate pressings, indigenous yeasts, limited batonnage to favor acidity, long aging ? has been preserved, perhaps even enhanced, with the incredibly talented Florent taking over at the helm of the estate, while Jean consults at key stages in the process. All wines are aged in oak barrels with no racking, stirring or any disruption during elevage. These beautifully crafted wines soulfully represent some of the best in natural winemaking, which aims to express the typicity of the grape and the specificity of the terroir.
Winemaker Notes:
The Arbois Chardonnay is a blend of several single vineyards of Chardonnay, between the villages of Arbois and Villette, which were paired because of their nice complementarity. The conditions in those vineyards are perfect to build the elegant structure and the fine aromas of great white wines.

Its truth is revealed on the palate: intense, succulent, mineral and slightly nutty. This Muscadet has stringent acidity which leads to a long and salty finish. As minerally refreshing and satisfying as it is now, it clearly will age up to five years continuing to develop even more depth and complexity.
