La Corsa 2011 Dueluglio Vermentino (Toscana)
- $20
Made near the coastal town of Orbetello in Tuscany, this bright white opens with tones of citrus, stone fruit, cut grass and crushed almond. There’s a pretty dry note that recalls the sea salt and the shoreside breezes of the Mediterranean.

Troon 2011 ’72 Vermentino (Applegate Valley)
- $18
Troon lays claim to making the first Vermentino in Oregon, and it’s more than just a curiosity. Though tawny and heading toward early oxidation, the wine is drinking well, with a pretty nose of gunflint, apple pie and white peach aromas. The low alcohol reflects a wine of restraint and balance.
