Uvaggio 2010 Secco Moscato Giallo (Lodi)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
This dry Moscato Giallo from Lodi is delicious, with an intensely perfumed nose that follows through in the taste, alongside Meyer lemon, jasmine and cantaloupe. Very unusual, incredibly well priced and modest in alcohol, this lush, ginger-tinged Moscato is this taster’s desert-island white.

Uvaggio 2009 Vermentino (Lodi)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $14
Uvaggio is making a serious case for Lodi Vermentino. This bottling is compelling: savory with herb and green olive notes, and yet freshly fruity and delicate, well integrated and plenty acidic to stand up to a wide range of food, even given its modest 11% alcohol level. A stunner that’ll keep you thinking, and asking for more.

Uvaggio 2010 Vermentino (Lodi)
- Best Buy
- $14
Anyone intrigued by the array of alternative whites being produced in California right now should know about this wine, an incredibly priced, low-alcohol sipper that’s also complex enough to pair with a range of lighter foods.

Made from a hard-to-find variety in California, this bright, beautifully aromatic wine expresses gorgeous scents of jasmine that follow through in flavor to the finish. Its layers of lime, apple and a generous level of minerality are perfectly executed and waiting for seafood.

Uvaggio 2009 Moscato Secco (Lodi)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $16
A stunning and unusual white wine out of Lodi made by Jim Moore, with tremendous aromatics of honeysuckle and melon and a genius balancing between sweetness and acidity. Grapes—technically Moscato Giallo—were harvested from the Bella Vigna Vineyard fully ripe but at low brix, allowing this bottling to maintain a very low 12% alcohol level. An amazing deal for a…

Another stunner from Uvaggio, who is making stellar wines across the board from Lodi grapes, low in alcohol (13%) and fairly priced.

Pomegranate, cherry, toffee, they’re all in this soft, easy-drinking wine.

Uvaggio 2012 Secco Moscato Giallo (Lodi)
- Best Buy
- $14
Stainless-steel fermented from 100-percent Lodi-grown Moscato Giallo grapes, Uvaggio’s yearly dry Moscato is always a good value and great tasting. This one is layered with spice, but it’s also very floral with a gentle imprint and a taste of ginger and lime.

Uvaggio 2010 Primitivo (Lodi)
- $18
If only more California Primitivo could be made in this style - soft, lower in alcohol, modestly showing its fruit - there would be more converts among Zin fanatics, who would be wowed by the subtle black cherry and licorice flavors and dry finish, minimally aged in oak.
