Half Dozen White

WHITE:

Les Trois, Yves Duport 2022 (Bugey, France) $22

We love these mountain wines from Yves DuPort. This one is equal parts Aligote, Altesse and Chardonnay from biodynamic vineyards in the French Alps. Crisp and easy, but distinct with tension from the altitude and expressive fruit. Take out sushi wine of champions.

Coda di Volpe, Masseria Frattasi 2023 (Campnia, Italy) $23

100-200 year old vines of Coda di Volpe grown way up in the volcanic mountains east of Naples. Medium bodied with ripe stone fruit and crushed rocks.  

Chardonnay, Luuma 2022 (Sonoma, California) $19

Not buttery, underpriced Sonoma Chardonnay that even the haters who would never pick a Cali Chard will love. Medium bodied with stone fruit and lime zest.

Muller-Thurgau "Boden Funk", Weingut Schlossmuhlenhof 2023 (Rheinhessen, Germany) $19

100% Muller-Thurgau from a single 30+ year old organic vineyard, spontaneously fermented in steel and aged on the lees for 5 months, then bottled unfiltered with just a touch of SO2. Crunchy orchard fruit and white flowers with a fresh clean finish

Macabeo, Rocio Granado Herrero 2021 (La Mancha, Spain) $15

One of our go-to Mary Taylor favorites. 100% Macabeo, sustainably made on an independent, family-owned grape, olive, and almond farm that sits above a natural aquifer. Beautifully concentrated, earthy and elegant expression of the grape. Apple, white peach and honey notes. Low sulfur. Organic.

Bixigu Txakolina Rosé (Basque Country, Spain) 2023 $18

50% Hondarribi Beltza, 50% Hondarrabi Zuri from Getaria Txakolina, Basque Country, Spain; light plus bodied and dry with notes of candied strawberry, wild berries, lemon zest, strawberry seeds, and crushed stone, with medium plus acidity and a clean fresh finish.
