A lovely wine from longtime winemaker Steve Felten in Paso Robles, this tangy white is delicious on its own and a good choice for the table. Nicely balanced, it offers attractive notes of pink grapefruit and lemon with nuances of sweet melon. You can enjoy this as an aperitif, and it’s lovely with mildly spiced foods like white fish tacos with slaw, chile verde-based dishes, or spicy Asian stir-fries and curries. It’s available on his website at feltencellars.com for $18 retail. It’s also available at these fine wine bars: Gather, Haven, and Stax.
