2022 Concha y Toro “Amelia” Chardonnay – Valle del Limarí, Chile – $49.99
97 points – Vinous
A coastal-influenced Chardonnay with precision and lift—think citrus, saline minerality, and just enough oak to round things out. A perfect match for roasted chicken or creamy spring dishes.
2023 Aperture Chenin Blanc – Clarksburg, California – $28.99
94 points – James Suckling
Bright, textured, and quietly complex. Layers of orchard fruit, honey, and acidity make this an incredibly versatile bottle—ideal for glazed ham or anything with a touch of sweetness.
2023 Pieropan “La Rocca” Soave – Veneto, Italy – $49.99
96 points – Wine Enthusiast
A benchmark Soave that leans rich without losing its freshness. Almond, stone fruit, and subtle herbal notes make this a standout for herb-forward dishes and spring vegetables.
2022 Château de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc – $88.99
99 points – Jeb Dunnuck
The heavyweight of the group. Full-bodied, layered, and luxurious, with notes of ripe pear, spice, and florals. This is a showstopper—perfect for richer mains or when you want to impress.
