Bedell 2006 Corey Creek Reserve Chardonnay (North Fork of Long Island)

Price $40

This is an elegant yet very ripe effort from Long Island’s North Fork. The nose is a bit subdued, with subtle notes of toasty oak. The palate, meanwhile, bursts with flavors of pineapple and nectarine yet is light on its feet thanks to refreshingly cisp acidity. A long and lingering finish caps off a well-rounded package. — W.E.

Bedell 2010 Taste White (North Fork of Long Island)

Price $25

Bedell’s aromatic white blend bursts from the glass with exuberant scents of spring blossoms, freshly cut herbs and juicy pink-grapefruit notes. The palate is ripe and fruity, but balanced by an intensely chalky minerality and vivacious lime-juice acidity. Drink now. — A.I. (9/1/2012)

Price $35

This is intoxicating on the nose, with scents of dried rose petals, lychees and white peppercorns.
