Sean Thackrey "Pleiade II" California White Rhone Blend NV
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $19.99!
Vinous, Stephen Tanzer
"Medium yellow. Slightly high-toned aromas of yellow apple, dried fruits, nuts and spices. Dry and chewy in the mouth, with a pronounced phenolic character to the flavors of pear skin, cyanic peach pit, green almond and bitter herbs. Suggests a good bit of skin contact. Not a fruity style but this distinctly idiosyncratic blend should be endlessly flexible with food. Hipster alert!"

Conundrum California Proprietary White Blend 2015
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $14.99!
Winemaker's Notes
"Light in color -- calling to mind shades of straw or sun-kissed blond hair -- this wine opens with the evocative scents of apricot, pineapple, honeysuckle, and coconut. A slight flintiness of wet stone adds a layer of interest, due to a small portion of the wine being fermented in concrete tanks. Entry on the palate is creamy and soft, with lush flavors of Asian pear, Hawaiian fruit, apricot and brown spice. The finish brings just a wisp of acid to balance the richness of the fruit, with the distinct characteristics of each varietal in this blend creating a lasting harmonious impression."

Field Recordings "Hock" Central Coast White Blend 2017
90
Our Score
(3/2018) "Hock" is the newest edition to the every expanding Field Recordings line. This is Andrew's homage to traditional Alsatian Edelzwicker field blends. It is a zesty and snappy blend of 50% Gewurztraminer, 35% Pinot Gris and 15% Riesling. This is the type of wine that is meant to be drunk anytime with really any food. It has just the barest kiss of sweetness to round out the bright acid, with just enough fruit and floral tones to be thirst quenching & refreshing. This one screams to be drunk outside on a warm day. Be sure to keep a couple in your fridge all summer long.

Wine Enthusiast
(4/1/2018) "Rose petals and ripe, yellow Mirabelle plums create an inviting, appetizing nose. The palate is light, fruity and fresh, with just a dash of gentle, fruit-enhancing sweetness. This is a gentle, easy but aromatic wine, with an off-dry finish."

Castell d'Age "Anne Marie" Brut Nature Reserva Cava NV
91
Our Score
(9/2018) The latest batch of the Castell d'Age "Anne Marie" has arrived and it is delicious! After one sip, a member of our tasting group exclaimed, "How can a $15 Cava taste like $30 Champagne?" This is no ordinary Cava. The grapes that go into this beauty are 100% estate and organically grown. Bottled totally dry (Brut Nature), it has aromas of hazelnut-spiked brioche stuffed with baked pear and Boston cream bursting out of the glass. The dry mouthfeel is medium-bodied with mouthwatering acidity that brings everything together in perfect harmony. We strongly recommend keeping a few bottles in your fridge at all times. Perfect choice for BYOB sushi and Thai!

Dei "Martiena" Toscana Bianco 2016

Wine Spectator

Our Score
(4/2019) Dei is well known for their outstanding Vino Nobile di Montepulciano red wines, and their 2016 "Martiena" is one of the best Tuscan whites we've tasted in ages. A blend of 40% Chardonnay, 30% Malvasia Toscana, 20% Grechetto and 10% Sauvignon Blanc, the Martiena is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. The wine is clean and crisp with a round texture that will pair well with fatty fish, roasted chicken and hearty salads. A delicious mix of apple, pear, peach and citrus fruits are met with a bright streak of minerality that follows through on the wine's long finish. Only 800 cases produced. A must try!

Chateau Ducasse Bordeaux Blanc 2016
89+
Our Score
(6/2018) We love the style of this classic dry white from Kermit Lynch. A blend of 60% Semillon, 35% Sauvignon Blanc and 5% Muscadelle. Balanced, fresh and softer than many Sauvignon Blanc dominated blends, it offers nice richness on the palate featuring pleasing notes of melon and pear. Great to drink by itself, or with just about any light summer fare.

Can Feixes "Blanc Seleccio" Penedes 2017
90
Our Score
(10/2018) One of the most consistently well made white wines in the history of our stores! We've been buying and selling this wine for over twenty years. Dry and nervy, with seashell minerality, this stone and citrus fruit white reminds the drinker of Chablis crossed with Albarino. A solid offering again in 2017!

Chateau Ollieux Romanis "Cuvee Prestige" Corbieres Blanc 2015
92
Wine Advocate
(4/28/2017) "I loved the 2015 Corbieres Blanc Cuvee Prestige and it's a white I'd happily drink any day. Made from 50% Roussanne, 40% Marsanne and 10% Grenache Blanc that was brought up in a mix of demi-muids and small barrels, it exhibits notes of buttered stone fruits, honeysuckle and white flowers in a medium to full-bodied, elegant, richly textured style that's going to shine on the dinner table."

Stony Brook Vineyards Ghost Gum White Blend 2016
88+
Our Score
(4/2019) Named after the winery's beautiful Ghost Gum tree, this blend of mostly Chardonnay with Semillon is barrel fermented and aged in barrel, about half of which is new. This results in a creamy, rich, white wine that's like a cross between a California Chardonnay and a white Bordeaux from Pessac-Leognan. Delicious orchard fruit notes of apple and pear are met with subtle peach and apricot. A whiff of floral notes add freshness to this full bodied blend. Pair with rich seafood or poultry, especially if prepaired in a cream sauce.
