| 42252 | 42251 | US | This Tempranillo-based pinkie is quite inviting and tightly textured, with aromas of orange shave ice, strawberry cream, watermelon and cement. It is extremely zesty and lively once sipped, offering easy-to-drink raspberry and melon notes. It's great for all sorts of food, from spicy to rich. | Indie | 89 | 24 | California | Templeton Gap District | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | ONX 2015 Indie Tempranillo (Templeton Gap District) | Tempranillo | ONX |

| 42254 | 42253 | US | Smoky aromas and a bold apricot flavor give this dry and seemingly light-bodied wine a distinct personality. Fermented in small concrete egg-shaped vats, it's far from simple and fruity, and instead offers great acidity and a tangy, tempting, appetizing personality. | Stepping Stones | 89 | 27 | California | Santa Barbara County | Central Coast | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Prospect 772 2014 Stepping Stones Grenache Blanc (Santa Barbara County) | Grenache Blanc | Prospect 772 |
| 42255 | 42254 | Italy | Coffee, toasted oak, coconut and raspberry confiture aromas lead the way. On the dense palate, dark chocolate, oak and licorice accent fleshy black cherry while fine-grained tannins provide support. | Rocche dell'Annunziata | 89 | 89 | Piedmont | Barolo | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Revello Fratelli 2012 Rocche dell'Annunziata (Barolo) | Nebbiolo | Revello Fratelli |
| 42256 | 42255 | Austria | Creamy notes pear crumble make for a most attractive nose. The palate follows with gentle softness and concentration, supported by bright, fresh acidity. The creamy notes continue alongside notes of green and red apple and fresh pear. There is a lot of substance and body, so have this alongside a meal, the finish is superclean. | Lage Modler | 89 | | Thermenregion | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Gebeshuber 2015 Lage Modler Zierfandler (Thermenregion) | Zierfandler | Gebeshuber |
| 42257 | 42256 | Italy | Aromas of apricot and white spring flower lift out of the glass. The apricot note follows through to the palate, along with yellow peach, honeydew melon and almond, all framed in bright acidity. This one closes on a flinty note. | Gold Label | 89 | 15 | Piedmont | Gavi | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Tenuta La Marchesa 2015 Gold Label (Gavi) | Cortese | Tenuta La Marchesa |

| 42258 | 42257 | US | Aromas of baking spice, clove and dried red fruit lead to full yet elegant flavors that coat the palate. It doesn't quite stand up on its own but should do well at the dinner table. | Purple Sage Vineyard | 89 | 28 | Washington | Wahluke Slope | Columbia Valley | Sean P.

| 42259 | 42258 | Chile | A heavy dose of petrol is the aromatic greeting, and it comes with hints of rubber, latex and waxy white fruits. Feels tangy and fresh due to blazing acidity, while it tastes both of tropical fruits and diesel. Long and chiseled on the finish. | | 86 | 12 | Central Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Meli 2010 Riesling (Central Valley) | Riesling | Meli |
| 42260 | 42259 | Italy | There's a raw, syrupy element to this wine. It suggests aromas of cherry liqueur, spice and roasted coffee bean, and finishes on a bright note. | | 86 | | Southern Italy | Puglia | | | | Villa Schinosa 2008 Primitivo (Puglia) | Primitivo | Villa Schinosa |
| 42261 | 42260 | Chile | Yellow tinted, which announces that this wine was barrel aged. And that barrel character is huge on the nose, which smells of raw oak, vanilla and dried cheese. Feels creamy, but the acidity is lively as well. Shows flashes of brilliance but also fights to absorb all the wood that's been thrown at it. A quality wine but definitely not for everyone. | Alfa Centauri | 86 | 32 | Leyda Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | O. Fournier 2009 Alfa Centauri Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | O. Fournier |
| 42262 | 42261 | US | From a mix of southern Oregon vineyards, this vintage was harvested at pretty low sugar levels (22.7º brix). It is light, and elegantly designed—definitely a wine for every day drinking. Along with spare berry fruit is a hint of nougat from a tiny percentage of new oak. | | 86 | 21 | Oregon | Southern Oregon | Southern Oregon | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Abacela 2009 Tempranillo (Southern Oregon) | Tempranillo | Abacela |
| 42263 | 42262 | Chile | Neutral on the nose, with modest sweet berry aromas but not much more. Feels heavy and buttery, with baked berry flavors bolstered by loud oak that tastes buttery and creamy. Chunky, ripe, buttery and sweet on the finish. | | 86 | 30 | Leyda Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Amayna 2010 Pinot Noir (Leyda Valley) | Pinot Noir | Amayna |
| 42264 | 42263 | US | A straightforward, well-priced wine with hints of cola spice, dark cherry and strawberry vanilla that'll go down easy and pair with all kinds of lighter fare. Made from organic grapes. | | 86 | 14 | California | Mendocino County | | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Bonterra 2010 Pinot Noir (Mendocino County) | Pinot Noir | Bonterra |
| 42265 | 42264 | Portugal | Lightly strawberry colored and flavored, this is a wine with a hint of tannin as well as bright, fresh fruit. While it could age for another year in bottle, it is a food-friendly sparkler that should pair well with rich seafood. | Vertice Rosé | 86 | 19 | Douro | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Caves Transmontanas 2010 Vertice Rosé Sparkling (Douro) | Portuguese Sparkling | Caves Transmontanas |
| 42266 | 42265 | Chile | Crisp apple aromas are light and minerally. Feels citrusy and lifted on the palate, with melon, apple and barrel spice flavors. Mildly oaked but not heavy on the finish, with a fresh overall approach. | Reserva | 86 | 13 | Maule Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Chilcas 2010 Reserva Chardonnay (Maule Valley) | Chardonnay | Chilcas |
| 42267 | 42266 | Italy | Inalto's Montepulciano d'Abruzzo shows soft, almost sweet tones of ripe fruit, plum cake and honey-covered almond. It's simple and tight in the mouth with a fresh, clean close. | | 86 | 15 | Central Italy | Montepulciano d'Abruzzo | | | | Inalto 2009 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo | Montepulciano | Inalto |
| 42268 | 42267 | US | Pretty good price for such a nice Sauvignon Blanc. It's a little one-dimensional in ripe tangerine, mango and lime flavors, but the acidity is bright and clean, and the finish is long and spicy. | | 86 | 16 | California | Santa Ynez Valley | Central Coast | | | Koehler 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Santa Ynez Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Koehler |
| 42269 | 42268 | Spain | Rubbery, generic berry and red-fruit aromas are decent, nothing more. This Garnacha-Tempranillo blend feels fresh, lean and wiry, with raw flavors of plum and red-berry fruits. A high-toned racy finish is the opposite of plush. | Excelsus | 86 | 20 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Viña Herminia 2014 Excelsus (Rioja) | Red Blend | Viña Herminia |
| 42270 | 42269 | Spain | Raw herbal crisp aromas of currant and red cherry are a touch green. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo is dry on the palate, with clamping tannins.

| 42242 | 42241 | US | This bottling is adorned with one of the prettiest and most interesting label designs on the market right now. Tropical aromas of pineapple, jasmine and ripe white peach are leveled by squeezed tangerine and orange-blossom scents. Lime juice shows first on the sip, followed by waves of kiwi, green papaya and a touch of mango. | | 89 | 17 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Sea Monster 2014 White (Central Coast) | White Blend | Sea Monster |
| 42243 | 42242 | US | The 19th edition (the edition numbers serve a similar function to a vintage date) of this popular blend uses eight varieties, mostly aromatic, with no oak influence. The result is just a touch off dry (10 g/L residual sugar), low alcohol, and loaded with scents and flavors of flowers and fruits. A whiff of body powder moves into a midpalate nicely focused on peach and citrus flavors. | Evolution Lucky No. 9 | 89 | 15 | America | | | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Sokol Blosser NV Evolution Lucky No. 9 White (America) | White Blend | Sokol Blosser |
| 42244 | 42243 | US | This wine is composed of five varieties, with none making up more than 21% of the blend. Fresh aromas of berry, cranberry, red currant and herbs are followed by fruit-forward cherry and berry flavors that bring appeal. | River's Red Wine | 89 | 14 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P.

| 42245 | 42244 | Spain | Slightly foxy on the nose, with rubbery aromas of cherry and cassis, this offers a tight, tannic palate with hard, elastic tannins. Flavors of cherry and cassis are pleasant, while the finish is ripe, warming and healthy. | Seis | 89 | 18 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Luberri 2011 Seis (Rioja) | Tempranillo | Luberri |
| 42246 | 42245 | US | This wine is dry and rather full bodied, starting with fruity aromas like banana and coconut then seguing to more nutty, oaky, complex flavors and a rich texture. It's a serious dinner wine with heft and substance. | Verdigris | 89 | 30 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Las Positas 2014 Verdigris White (California) | White Blend | Las Positas |
| 42247 | 42246 | US | Blossom and berry notes are accented by hints of smoked nut in this refreshingly light-bodied wine. Zesty and lithe on the palate, it's an ideal summer-to-fall apéritif or porch sipper. The moderately long finish is marked with a hint of waxy florals. | Bridge Lane | 89 | 18 | New York | New York | New York Other | Anna Lee C. Iijima | | Lieb 2015 Bridge Lane Rosé (New York) | Rosé | Lieb |
| 42248 | 42247 | US | A touch blossomy against a core of ripe raspberry and cherry perfume, the nose on this traditional-method Pinot Noir sparkler is particularly alluring. The palate is elegant and fresh, marked by fine, mouthfilling mousse and delicate raspberry-candy finish. | Cuvée Gabriella Brut Rosé | 89 | 35 | New York | North Fork of Long Island | Long Island | Anna Lee C.

| 42249 | 42248 | Austria | An earthy hint colors the pear notes which on the palate acquire a fresh, almost floral quality. The earthy tone of yeast and miso provides a counterpoint to the zesty, lime-peel freshness. The finish is clean-cut and very refreshing. | Crazy Creatures | 89 | 17 | Kremstal | | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Malat 2015 Crazy Creatures Grüner Veltliner (Kremstal) | Grüner Veltliner | Malat |
