Vermentino
Sella & Mosca 2006 La Cala Vermentino (Vermentino di Sardegna)
- $14
An informal, easy-to-drink wine with medium aromatic intensity rallied mostly around fragrant fresh fruit, white stone and Mediterranean herbs. The structure is lean and the acidity is bright: You can’t ask for more.

Podere Scurtarola 2004 Lorieri Vermentino (Toscana)
- Online Exclusive
The wine’s deep, golden saturation is very pretty, but that thick color concentration is also an indicator of what’s to come. This is a woody, oak-driven wine that is almost clumsy in the way its carpentry aromas butt up against the fruit. Aromas include pine nut, butter, banana candy and exotic fruit.

- $14
A pristine Sardinian white, Crabilis is loaded with abundant notes of dried herb, stone fruit, chopped mint and honeysuckle. Its herbal-Mediterranean characteristics make it really unique. Lean and clean in the mouth, it ends on a sharp, crisp note.
