 | 2006 Colterenzion Pinot Grigio $12.95 If water and sunlight feed a grapevine’s body, then its soul is provided for by the soils in which it is rooted. In this bottle, a suggestion of the Alpine terrain of northern Italy can be detected ---- mineral-laden crispness which combines well with a hint of delicate wild flowers, as it turns out. The wine is firm and dry, and most agreeable with seafood, mountain cheeses, and lightly-herbed chicken. Just standing around waiting for the grill to heat up is another opportunity to enjoy this tasty value. |

2005 Grillo Parlante from Fondo Antico, Sicilia, Italy $12.50
A Grillo Parlante is a talking cricket, or Jiminy Cricket in Italian, but of course Grillo is also the name of a native Sicilian grape. And a lively, sprightly character it is too – vivacious and a little nervy, with no end of ideas above its station. Crisp and long with an abundance of refreshing fruit, this little guy turns out to have depth as well as personality. |

Vin de Pays du Jardin de la France $9.50
Crisp, clean, aromatic, zingy- these are among the admiring words used to describe the world’s best sauvignon Blanc, which, like this one, come from the upper reaches of the Loire River Valley in central France. There is simply, enormous pleasure in the clear precision of Bourgeois’ interpretation of Sauvignon: very dry suggestions of flinty soil and grapefruit zest, framed handsomely by perfectly balanced acidity. Try this beauty with seafood, goat cheese, and stir-fried vegetables.

 | 2005 Casa Lapostolle Chardonnay, Casablanca Valley, Chile $13.25 Tasting Notes:
Attractive, luminous, intense yellow color. Very aromatic and complex nose, with lots of fresh and fruity tropical aromas, pineapple, peach and asparagus notes predominate with very well-integrated oaky nuances. A touch creamy and fat on the bouquet, but backed by peach and tangerine flavors that sing of ripeness, incredibly fresh. Well balanced and rounded; harmonious with long and agreeable persistence. A very seductive wine, in a style specific to the Casablanca terroir. |

 | 89 pt 2006 Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand $11.70 A Best Buy from Wine Enthsiast. Scored 89 pt

| | Ladoucette Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc, Loire Valley, France $ 36.00 "From the Loire’s Central Vineyards, de Ladoucette only use free run juice thus avoiding the harshenss or stalkiness that can be the result of normal pressing methods. From a classic vintage this is distinguished by classic Sauvignon aromas, dew drop fresh acidity, juicy pear flesh flavours and a mineral/flint finish." History: De Ladoucette is based in the Chateau du Nozet, set at the heart of some of the finest vineyards in the area. The family purchased the chateau from an illegitimate daughter of the French king, Louis XV, in 1788, and continued to produce wine there ever since - a tradition that goes back over 600 years. De Ladoucette's wines have a worldwide reputation for elegance, complexity and quality. The current Baron has only one priority "The top quality and the best".
Winemaking details: This wine is classic in style and is recognised as one of the great Pouilly Fumés. None of the vineyards from which the grapes come is more than 6 minutes from the winery, ensuring optimum quality in the fruit. The juice is squeezed from the grapes by gravity alone, which avoids any off flavours from the skin or stalks. A long, cool fermentation in stainless steel, and no oak, produces a wine of great freshness and aroma. The wine is drinking very well now, and is a good match with fish and seafood.
