    • 2023 Raza Vinho Verde D.O.C. Portugal $12 A cheerful, translucid, lemon-yellow, and slightly pétillant white wine, Vinho Verde means ‘green wine’ and named after the northwest Portuguese region from which it originates. The ‘green’ in the name refers to the youthful state in which the wines are customarily released and consumed, not the color of the wine. It is typically a blend of various percentages of Alvarinho, Loureiro, Trajadura, and Pedernã (Arinto). Following initial alcoholic fermentation, a natural, secondary malolactic conversion in cask produces carbon dioxide, giving Vinho Verde its charmingly light sparkle. 11.5 % Alc.
    • 2021 McBride Sisters Chardonnay Central Coast, CA $15 Creamy and lush, with flavors of lemon meringue, lemon curd and crème anglaise that show accents of marmalade and apricot pastry, plus fresh grace notes of tangerine, candied ginger and toasted, buttery brioche. A fresh thread of acidity keeps all the flavors in focus. Drink now. 90 Points Wine Spectator 13.5 % Alc.
    • 2023 Lamblin & Fils Bourgogne Blanc, France $20 When you taste it, you could easily take Lamblin’s Bourgogne Blanc for Chablis. In price, however, it bears no resemblance at all. A can’t-miss member-favorite offering mouthwatering lemon curd and juicy pear accented by wet stone, it’s an outstanding bargain. 12.5 Alc.
    • 2023 Hiruzta Txakolina Spain $20. Made from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape, grown in the winery’s own vineyards in Hondarribia and fermented at its state-of-the-art facility. Produced in at an exceptional winery equipped with state-of-the-art technology. Intense aromas of white (pear and apple), citrus (grapefruit) and tropical (pineapple and passion fruit) fruit aromas, also swathed with white flower (orange blossom) scents, all enhanced by the subtle release of the natural carbonic gas. It is very balanced and fresh, with a certain sense of spicy sparkle on the tongue and an integrated acidity. Pleasant on the palate, with a citrus and tropical aftertaste. Long and aromatic finish.
