2021 San Marzano, Edda Bianco $20
60% Chardonnay, 20% Fiano, 20% Wild Muscatel
Salento
An aromatic blend of Chardonnay, Moscatello, and Fiano that is flat out amazing for the price. The Moscatello matches the Chardonnay in richness, and adds notes of citrus fruits and white flowers, while the Fiano gives minerality from the layers of calcareous soils, the hallmark of whites from Puglia.
2020 Henri Bourgeois, ‘Petit Bourgeois’ Rosé $10
100% Pinot Noir
This Loire Valley Rosé is fresh, with a notable savory streak amid the white cherry and peach flavors. A light stony echo adds zing on the finish.
