Zolo Fincas Patagonicas Torrontés 2013, Mendoza, Argentina: Trust me, you haven’t lived until you’ve tried Torrontes, the grape name of the aromatic white wine. This is a wonderful interpretation of peachy-floral splendor. Ignore the price as it’ll bias you because it’s so low.  Torrontés is truly Argentina’s benchmark white wine: such a unique signature. Finishes with peach blossom and sunshine. Try it with mild curries or fresh seafood. Drink: 2014-2017. 183913 13.80% D 750 mL  $13.95 Score: 90/100. August 2, 2014 Best Value White Wine.

Talamonti Tre Saggi Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2011, Abruzzo D.O.C., Italy: Tre Saggi translates to "three wise men" and both wise men and women will be smart to try this wine. Rich, dark and savoury with black cherries and smoke and lots of mocha and sweet chocolate notes. Full-bodied and luxuriously thick like a comforting blanket you wrap closer to you on a chilly night under a starry sky by the campfire. Great structure and balance. An elegant dinner party wine that won’t cost a fortune. Plus the label looks like it cost twice as much as you paid for it ;)  Great spice and smoke notes on the finish.

Miguel Torres Gran Viña Sol Chardonnay 2012, Penedès D.O., Spain: Wonderfully balanced and tasty! Aromas of green apples, peach, butterscotch and smoke. Nicely balanced. Lots of acidity for roast chicken. Perfect for Sunday dinner of roast chicken. A steal at this price. Winemaker Torres adds a splash of the native Parellada grape to its Chardonnay to infuse the wine with crispness and a pleasing edge on this voluptuous white wine. The winery uses eco friendly lightweight bottles. Try this with roast chicken. Drink: 2013-2016. 115229 13.50% D 750 mL  $15.95 Score: 89/100. July 19, 2014 Best Value White Wine.
