Domaine Trimbach Gewürztraminer Alsace 2022
Trimbach
Trimbach's house style brings rigor to one of Alsace's most exuberant varieties. This Gewürztraminer has the aromatic intensity the grape demands, but the bone-dry finish and taut acidity keep it firmly on the food-friendly side. A benchmark for the varietal at an accessible price.
Nose
Immediately aromatic with lychee, rose petal, and a dusting of white pepper. Behind the floral intensity there's a honey-like sweetness and a subtle note of marzipan that keeps it grounded.
Palate
Off-dry on entry but structured by crisp acidity, which prevents the aromatics from turning cloying. Melon and grapefruit join the rose and lychee, creating a layered mid-palate. A faint minerality adds tension and length.
Finish
Medium-long, with persistent floral notes, a touch of ginger spice, and clean citrus acidity.

Domaine des Huards Cour-Cheverny AOC Romo 2023
Domaine des Huards
Cour-Cheverny is the only AOC in France dedicated to the ancient Romorantin grape, and Domaine des Huards is its finest ambassador. This is a wine of place — the chalky soils and continental climate write themselves into every glass. If you've never tried Romorantin, this is where to start.
Domaine Weinbach Riesling Grand Cru Furstentum 2022
Domaine Weinbach
The Faller family's Grand Cru Furstentum Riesling showcases one of Alsace's warmest and most powerful sites, yet the 2022 vintage maintains stunning freshness. This is Riesling at its most complete — aromatic, textured, mineral, and built for the table.
Pietradolce Etna Bianco DOC 2023
Pietradolce
Pietradolce's Carricante vines grow at 700 meters on Etna's north face, rooted in millennia of lava flow. Winemaker Michele Faro handles the fruit with restraint — stainless steel only, no malolactic — letting the grape and the volcano speak. The result is one of Italy's most compelling white wines at a price that borders on absurd for this level of quality.
Benanti Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina 2022
Benanti
Pietra Marina is arguably Sicily's greatest white wine, and the 2022 vintage continues the tradition. Carricante from Etna's highest vineyards delivers a rare combination of power and precision — it has the depth to age but the freshness to drink now. If you want to understand what volcanic soil tastes like in a glass, start here.
