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.

Lawson's Dry Hills Dry Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2012, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: A lovely, expressive Sauvignon Blanc that is more citrus-melon than grassy-herbal.
