This pretty, extremely dry Albarino hails from Rias Baixas in Spain, renowned for the quality of its Albarino. This version offers expressive flavors of white peach, grapefruit, and lime. The citrusy flavors make it a great choice for ahi poke and other mildly spiced ceviche and Asian dishes. Imported by Henry Wine Group, it’s a very good buy at Costco for only $12.99 retail—and remember that you don’t have to be a member to buy alcohol in these big box stores.
