Westbrook Wine Farm 2006 Uber Rhenish Dry Riesling (Madera)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
Here’s a real success in a variety that’s always struggling for acceptance. If more Rieslings were like this, more Americans would drink it. Very dry, as the name states, and crisp, it has complex, subtle flavors of citrus fruits, apricots and pine needles. Try as an alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.

Westbrook Wine Farm 2008 Viognier-Valdiguié (Madera)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
This is a very rich, flavorful wine, brimming with ripe pineapples, peaches, nectarines, honeysuckle and vanilla. It’s fortunately balanced with crisp acidity, which makes the richness finish clean.

Westbrook Wine Farm NV Lamanuzzi & Pantaleo Vineyard Gambono Red (Madera)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
A bit Porty, with raisiny flavors, but the finish is dry, and the tannins are nice and rich. Something about it brings to mind Cognac.

Westbrook Wine Farm 2007 Viognier-Valdiguié (Madera)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Fruity and easy, this soft wine has sweet flavors of apricots and caramel. Valdiguié, formerly known as Napa Gamay, is a red grape, and that accounts for the note of crushed raspberries.

Westbrook Wine Farm 2008 Uber Rhenish Kenwara Vineyard Dry Riesling (Madera)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Dry, like the label says, and crisp in acidity, offering a bite to the lime, grapefruit, flower and mineral flavors. The alcohol is a refreshingly low 12.5%.

Westbrook Wine Farm 2007 Uber Rhenish Kenwara Vineyard Dry Riesling (Madera)
- Online Exclusive
- $17
Dry as advertised, but there’s a tanky smell, and the acidity is so high, the wine is almost sour. Tastes like the pure juice of lemons and limes.

Westbrook Wine Farm NV Rosato Romantico Rosé (Madera)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Almost as dark as a red wine, with hard, astringent tannins. But it is dry, as the label says, and offers modest cherryskin and earthy flavors.
