It wouldn’t be summer without a great backyard party and of course, some amazing white wines to go with it! Here are three delicious whites that will take your summer parties to the next level, and all are priced between $16.99 - $59.99.
2020 Cambria Estate Winery Chardonnay Katherine’s Vineyard – California – 94 AG - $16.99
Talk about a wine that over-delivers for the price, this 94 pointer priced at only $16.99 checks all the boxes! From Santa Barbara County, this Chardonnay is drinking well now – 2027. You can’t beat the price! “I only tasted a few wines from Cambria, but they are among the best I have ever tasted here.” – Antonio Galloni. Don’t fear under-paying for a great California Chardonnay – you’ll be totally satisfied with this $16.99 bottle! Cambria Estate remains a family owned estate, is Sustainability In Practice (SIP) Certified and carries the Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing (CCSW) seal on all of their wines.
2021 Domaine de Roally Vire Clesse – White Burgundy – 94+ SP - $32.99
This is the under $35 bottle of white Burgundy that Puligny Montrachet lovers serve at parties and pools. It’s so similar to 1st Cru Puligny Montrachets in that it has both richness, power and pleasant acid structure that many people don’t know the difference. “It’s been my party trick for years to serve this blind and let all the white burgundy aficionados guess what great Puligny producer this is from.” – Dave Sokolin. And this 2021 vintage may be the best vintage to date. Domaine de Roally is consistently one of our go-to producers for terrific value white Burgundy year after year. The latest vintage will leave you smiling!
2016 Guigal Condrieu – White Rhone – 94 WS - $59.99
White Rhone just may be the most under-appreciated area with legendary producers, mega scores and low prices. "White Rhones offer a unique experience that combines the richness associated with the best white Burgundies along with a density and sumptuousness not found in any other white wine." - Dave Sokolin. This Condrieu comes from Guigal, a northern Rhone legend. Guigal’s wines are not only the best of the Rhone Valley, but simply some of the world’s finest. “Lush and generous, this is textbook Condrieu from the appellation’s largest producer.” – Wine Enthusiast. You’ll be excited about opening and drinking this game-changing white wine from a region that not many have the privilege of experiencing! This 94 pointer is drinking well now, and we have very limited quantities remaining.
Cheers!
