Trius Hillebrand Winery Pinot Grigio 2011, V.Q.A., Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada: A light, refreshing and mouth-watering white from winemaker Craig MacDonald. Lovely lifted aromas of lime and lemon zest makes this a great aperitif. Great concentration yet it's not heavy in the slightest. The wine was cool- fermented in stainless steel to preserve its fresh fruit purity. Pair with salads and seafood. Drink: 2013-2015. 561076 12.70% D 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 89/100.

Beaulieu Vineyard BV Coastal Estates Sauvignon Blanc 2013, California, United States: Clean, fresh and crisp like the mist of the Pacific Ocean on a spring day. That's not surprising given that the Sauvignon Blanc grapes for the BV Coastal Estates grow close to the water, and thus get the moderating influence of the ocean to preserve their freshness. There's a lovely lime lift through the mid-palate with a kick of lemon zest on the finish. Staggeringly great value and taste for the price.
