This beautiful white wine was so impressive, I bought six bottles—but I should have bought a case. It’s been consistently impressive. This pretty, floral white offers notes of sweet citrus like Meyer lemon and orange with highlights of lime and tangy green apple. It ends on a slightly sweet note, but that does nothing to detract from its elegance. It’s a great pairing for cheese plates with camembert or brie and tangy goat cheese, shellfish, roast chicken, and halibut. It’s also wonderful with spicy stir-fries or spicy Spanish dishes, and you’ll find it quite irresistible on its own. Available at Tastes of the Valleys Pismo Beach, it’s $18.50 retail.
