“Here’s the most delicious and affordable white wine — from a grape you’ve never heard of and a country you’re probably not familiar with! From a cool growing area in Tikves, Macedonia, the thick-skinned grape Rkaciteli (ree-kaht-say-TAY-lee) produces a dry white that is bright, crisp and refreshing. You’ll experience aromas and flavors of stone fruit, granite and fresh lemon-lime. Delicious with shellfish, mild cheeses or just by itself!” — Jim Meyers, owner/wine buyer, Wine Thieves, Lafayette

“From the Tuscan coast (Maremma, where Super Tuscan Bordeaux Blends are the jazz), this pure, aromatic and juicy vermentino is fermented and aged in steel tanks, bottled young for freshness and includes five percent viognier. Look for bright aromas of Meyer lemons, citrus blossoms and jasmine. Taste is fresh citrus, peaches and grapefruit with a twinge of lemon bitters at the end. — Dan Dawson, owner/wine buyer, Outer Space Wines, Napa
