| 48123 | 48122 | France | The floral perfume of this wine is subdued, while the palate has the grip of fir honey and citrus pith along with softer notes of blossom and gentle yellow plum. These are balanced so well by bitter elements that this medium-dry wine almost finishes dry. Matched with ripe, washed-rind cheeses it will be a triumph. | Tradition | 89 | 33 | Alsace | Alsace | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Domaine Pfister 2012 Tradition Gewurztraminer (Alsace) | Gewürztraminer | Domaine Pfister |
| 48124 | 48123 | US | Fresh-pressed blackberry, cedar, dark-chocolate shavings, charcoal and espresso grounds show on this slightly wound up, extremely dark wine.

| 48125 | 48124 | Chile | One of the major growers in Leyda also makes classic cool-coast SB. This is briny and tight on the nose, with a hint of asparagus.

| 48132 | 48131 | France | Medium-intense notes of black plum, currant and cherry swirl in the bouquet, with supporting tones of wood spice and fudge.

| 48140 | 48139 | US | Tart acidity provides freshness and succulence to the palate of this vineyard-designate—a well-resolved expression of plum, cranberry and red currant.

| 48148 | 48147 | US | The delicate yet brilliant pink color of this rosé is stunning (Could it be protected by the darker glass, a rare packaging choice for the style?) and the wine inside matches up, starting with a brisk nose of red apple, white cherry, strawberry and lime. There's red plum and more strawberry to the sip.
