Concha y Toro Trio Reserva Chardonnay Pinot Grigio Pinot Blanc 2013, Casablanca Valley, Chile: This spritely Chilean white wine is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Blanc grapes. Peach and lime notes give refreshment while there’s a satisfying underlay of toasty oak. Pair with summer evenings on the deck and grilled chicken on the barbecue.

Perrin & Fils Réserve Côtes du Rhône Blanc 2014, Côtes du Rhône A.C., France: Lovely southern French white wine from the Rhone Valley! Not too oaky or fruity... just a delicious blend of earth and sunshine. Full-bodied with layers of Asian pear and a hint of smoke in this AC wine. Lots of energy and character in this Old World charmer. Primarily made from the Grenache Blanc grape, with some smoke and melon on the finish. Great price. Lovely lick of lime zest on the finish. Pair with pasta or seafood in a cream sauce. Drink: 2016-2018. 499509 13% XD 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 90/100. June 13, 2015 Best Value White Wine. Happy Hawaiian Pizza Wine Full Review
Remy Pannier Sevre et Maine sur lie Muscadet 2013, Loire Valley, France: Here's a terrific alternative to Chablis (unoaked Chardonnay from Burgundy) for your shellfish: dry, crisp and refreshing. Perfect companion to oysters, mussels and clams. Aromas of lime and lemon. This is a terrific wine at a bargain price for the quality. You can also enjoy it as an aperitif. Drink: 2014-2016. 13821 11.50% D 750 mL  $14.95 Score: 88/100. April 15, 2015 Best Value White Wine. Sensational Shellfish Wine Full Review
