| 66151 | 66150 | US | Vibrant aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine, mandarin orange and petroleum jelly lead to just off-dry, lightly spritzy fruit flavors. Tart, lively acidity keeps the interest high. | 6 | 88 | 15 | Washington | Columbia Valley (WA) | Columbia Valley | Sean P.

| 66152 | 66151 | France | An intriguing and spicy note of grapefruit flesh makes for a very inviting nose. The palate is not quite so exuberant but refreshes with its light-footed and citrus-fresh slenderness. The finish is dry. | | 88 | 18 | Alsace | Alsace | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Allimant-Laugner 2016 Riesling (Alsace) | Riesling | Allimant-Laugner |
| 66153 | 66152 | US | Medium-bodied and thickly layered, this estate-grown wine shows more concentration and ripeness than it actually has, its acidity underlying a blanket of rich apple and banana flavor. It finishes crisp and clean. | Betty's Vineyard | 88 | 28 | California | Napa Valley | Napa | Virginie Boone | @vboone | Ballentine 2016 Betty's Vineyard Chenin Blanc (Napa Valley) | Chenin Blanc | Ballentine |
| 66154 | 66153 | US | This big, brawny wine slathers its rich pear syrup and orange marmalade flavors with toasty oak and butter. All that oaky richness dominates the taste from the first whiff to the lingering finish, so pair with an equally bold dish. | | 88 | 32 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Blindfold 2014 White (California) | White Blend | Blindfold |
| 66155 | 66154 | Italy | White spring flower, citrus and apple aromas set the tone while the bright palate offers pear, nectarine zest and a hint of bitter almond. Fresh acidity gives it a crisp finish. | San Michele | 88 | 15 | Veneto | Soave Classico | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Ca' Rugate 2016 San Michele (Soave Classico) | Garganega | Ca' Rugate |
| 66156 | 66155 | Spain | The baked berry, raisin and vanilla aromas in this Tempranillo and Garnacha blend are a touch soupy. It's tannic and firm on the palate, with tomato, berry and mildly oxidized flavors. | Añares Crianza | 88 | 18 | Northern Spain | Rioja | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Bodegas Olarra 2014 Añares Crianza (Rioja) | Tempranillo Blend | Bodegas Olarra |
| 66157 | 66156 | US | Crisp nectarine and apricot aromas meet hints of butter and lime in this clean and easy appellation blend from seven vineyards and four counties. The flavors are also familiar and pleasant, with key lime and lemon peel and a building acidity that carries those flavors deep into the finish. | | 88 | 20 | California | Central Coast | Central Coast | Matt Kettmann | @mattkettmann | Calera 2015 Chardonnay (Central Coast) | Chardonnay | Calera |
| 66158 | 66157 | Italy | Here's a fragrant white that opens with aromas of spring blossom, orchard fruit and a whiff of brimstone. On the bright juicy palate, a savory saline note energizes yellow apple, Bartlett pear and lemon zest. | Imperatrice | 88 | 17 | Southern Italy | Campi Flegrei | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Cantine Astroni 2015 Imperatrice Falanghina (Campi Flegrei) | Falanghina | Cantine Astroni |
| 66159 | 66158 | France | Ripe orange and plump stone fruits rise from the glass while subtle rose scents hover. The palate is fresh. There is enough acidity and a slightly bitter phenolic edge to frame the peach and orange fruit that is augmented by a little residual sweetness. The finish is off dry. Drink while flavors are fresh. | Découverte | 88 | 22 | Alsace | Alsace | | Anne Krebiehl MW | @AnneInVino | Cave du Roi Dagobert 2016 Découverte Gewurztraminer (Alsace) | Gewürztraminer | Cave du Roi Dagobert |
| 66160 | 66159 | Portugal | The Arinto grape and the town of Bucelas go together. This small enclave in the larger Lisboa region produces this crisp fruity style, like a southern version of dry Vinho Verde but with extra weight. Drink this attractive, lemon and red-apple flavored wine now. | | 88 | 10 | Bucelas | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Caves Velhas 2016 Arinto (Bucelas) | Arinto | Caves Velhas |
| 66161 | 66160 | France | This is an attractive, ripe wine from the André Lurton group. It is smoothly rich, with balanced perfumed fruits and acidity. Full bodied and creamy, it is ready to drink. | | 88 | 16 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Rosé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Bonnet 2016 Rosé (Bordeaux Rosé) | Rosé | Château Bonnet |

| 66163 | 66162 | France | This wine is tight and closed at this stage, although it has great potential. The fruit is lively and crisp, just waiting to burst out with citrus and sliced apple fruitiness. Wait until late 2017. | | 88 | 15 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château de Lussac 2016 Bordeaux Blanc | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château de Lussac |
| 66164 | 66163 | France | There is a great burst of appealing acidity in this wine, accompanied by refreshing red fruits. This balanced wine is lively, crisp and with plenty of flavor.

| 66165 | 66164 | France | Olivier Doujon made only 7,000 bottles of this 100% Merlot at the family estate in Fronsac.

| 66167 | 66166 | France | This is a crisp wine, full of acidity. It holds the potential of crisp green and citrus fruits that are developing. A nutty edge contrasts with the tense acidity. Drink from late 2017. | | 88 | 10 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Blanc | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Terres Douces 2016 Bordeaux Blanc | Bordeaux-style White Blend | Château Terres Douces |
| 66168 | 66167 | US | Big and flavorful, this full-bodied wine boasts butter, toast and smoke nuances layered over ripe pear and marzipan flavors. Fermented in stainless steel but aged in French oak, it has a rich texture and overt sweetness without going to extremes. | | 88 | 20 | California | California | California Other | Jim Gordon | @gordone_cellars | Cherry Tart 2014 Chardonnay (California) | Chardonnay | Cherry Tart |
| 66169 | 66168 | US | This is a pretty wine, forward and fruit-driven, with orange-juice highlights around cherry fruit. It's as fresh and flavorful as a Cru Beaujolais, ready for immediate enjoyment and best consumed sometime this decade. | | 88 | 28 | Oregon | Willamette Valley | Willamette Valley | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Child's Play 2014 Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley) | Pinot Noir | Child's Play |
| 66170 | 66169 | France | This lively wine comes from the Clarence Dillon group (Château Haut-Brion). It offers good balance between the considerable acidity and the red-berry fruit. With its spicy background, the wine is delicious to drink now. | | 88 | 15 | Bordeaux | Bordeaux Rosé | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Clarendelle 2016 Rosé (Bordeaux Rosé) | Rosé | Clarendelle |
| 66171 | 66170 | Italy | Made entirely with the native grape Negroamaro, this opens with intriguing aromas of Mediterranean scrub, dill and red berry. The vibrant palate shows sour cherry, strawberry, tangerine and dried herb alongside crisp acidity that lends a refreshing finish. | Negroamaro | 88 | 17 | Southern Italy | Salento | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Claudio Quarta 2016 Negroamaro Rosato (Salento) | Rosato | Claudio Quarta |
| 66172 | 66171 | Italy | Citrus zest, toasted nut, Mediterranean scrub and honey aromas follow over to the refined palate along with yellow apple and a hint of ginger. Bright acidity and a saline note give it a fresh, savory finish. | | 88 | | Southern Italy | Campi Flegrei | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Contrada Salandra 2014 Falanghina (Campi Flegrei) | Falanghina | Contrada Salandra |
| 66173 | 66172 | Italy | Aromas of grapefruit and crushed tomato vine lead the nose. The ripe rounded palate offers honeydew melon, lemon drop and a note of crushed dill alongside fresh acidity. | | 88 | 17 | Veneto | Soave | | Kerin O’Keefe | @kerinokeefe | Corte Giacobbe 2016 Soave | Garganega | Corte Giacobbe |
| 66174 | 66173 | US | Soft, dry and drinkable now, with firm, hearty tannins supporting ripe blackberry jam, dark chocolate, tobacco and mint flavors. | Southern Exposure | 85 | 35 | California | Shenandoah Valley (CA) | Sierra Foothills | | | C.G. di Arie 2005 Southern Exposure Syrah (Shenandoah Valley (CA)) | Syrah | C.G. di Arie |
| 66175 | 66174 | US | Utterly delicious, with blackberry and cherry pie, chocolate health bar and caramelly wood flavors. But for the price, there's little in the way of tannin-acid structure, and flavor isn't enough for balance. | | 85 | 30 | California | Sierra Foothills | Sierra Foothills | | | C.G. di Arie 2005 Syrah (Sierra Foothills) | Syrah | C.G. di Arie |
| 66176 | 66175 | US | Although this wine is a little on the sweet, soda pop side, its acidity is brisk and refreshing. The pineapple, Meyer lemon and spice flavors have a streak of tart gooseberries. | Reserve | 85 | 12 | California | Russian River Valley | Sonoma | | | Castle Rock 2007 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Russian River Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Castle Rock |
| 66177 | 66176 | France | Medium weight with soft, dusty tannins, this wine is easily approachable now. Juicy and jammy flavors of red berry preserves are complemented by nuances of iris. A straightforward wine that will pair nicely with most game-based dishes. | | 85 | 10 | Languedoc-Roussillon | Minervois | | Lauren Buzzeo | @laurbuzz | Château de Landure 2005 Red (Minervois) | Rhône-style Red Blend | Château de Landure |
| 66178 | 66177 | Chile | Quelat is Ventisquero's highest-reaching SB, but it seems narrow and ultra tight, with match stick on the nose and not a ton of fruit. As it unwinds, more aromas and flavors come out; but always is it slightly vegetal. Alongside that dominant “green” character, look for pineapple and plenty of acidity. | Queulat Gran Reserva | 85 | 15 | Casablanca Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Ventisquero 2008 Queulat Gran Reserva Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Ventisquero |
| 66179 | 66178 | Chile | Round on the nose, with green-apple aromas. There's no angularity or sharpness to this SB despite full acidity, and the flavors of orange and grapefruit are alert but pithy. A good but regular effort, especially for warm-climate Colchagua. | Casa La Joya Reserve | 85 | 11 | Colchagua Valley | | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Viña Bisquertt 2008 Casa La Joya Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Colchagua Valley) | Sauvignon Blanc | Viña Bisquertt |
| 66180 | 66179 | US | Soft and sweet, with rough tannins, this is the kind of wine described as rustic, which Carignane usually is. It's rich in blackberries and chocolate, and will probably last for many years, but will never be a great wine. | | 85 | 20 | California | Mendocino County | | | | Zina Hyde Cunningham 2005 Carignane (Mendocino County) | Carignane | Zina Hyde Cunningham |
