| 19651 | 19650 | US | A little thin and herbal, but shows enough Chard character to accompany good shellfish or a chicken or veal dish. Modestly oaked, the wine has peach, tangerine, buttercream and smoky flavors. | | 84 | 18 | California | Sonoma County | Sonoma | | | Simi 2006 Chardonnay (Sonoma County) | Chardonnay | Simi |
| 19652 | 19651 | US | Lockwood hitches a ride on the Argentine Malbec express, with mixed results. The wine is dark and acidic and properly bone dry, with earthy, dark berry, coffee, leather and bitter chocolate flavors. But there's a disagreeable green sharpness. | | 84 | 14 | California | Monterey County | Central Coast | | | Lockwood 2006 Malbec (Monterey County) | Malbec | Lockwood |
| 19653 | 19652 | US | From a vineyard called Sweetwater, this Riesling itself is sweet in peach, pineapple and wildflower honey flavors. Brisk Monterey acidity balances, with a tart, prickly mouthfeel. | Sweetwater Vineyard | 84 | 13 | California | Monterey | Central Coast | | | Ludwig 2006 Sweetwater Vineyard Riesling (Monterey) | Riesling | Ludwig |
| 19654 | 19653 | France | While this wine shows some of the softness and richness of 2003, it keeps a light touch and the acidity and black fruits remain fresh. There is an edge of astringency that leaves a hard aftertaste. | | 83 | 24 | Bordeaux | Graves | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Château Toumilon 2003 Graves | Bordeaux-style Red Blend | Château Toumilon |
| 19655 | 19654 | Portugal | On paper, this is an interesting blend of Aragonez and Cabernet; however, this fruity wine is much simpler than that. There is a spice element that adds some complexity, but the palate concentrates mainly on red fruits and layered acidity. Drink now. | Adegaborba.pt | 83 | 7 | Alentejo | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | Adega Cooperativa de Borba 2004 Adegaborba.pt Red (Alentejo) | Portuguese Red | Adega Cooperativa de Borba |
| 19656 | 19655 | US | A light, subtle nose is followed by simple but elegant Chardonnay flavors and a successful play of oak and acid. The mouthfeel is equally appealing, round and supple. The wine could use more complexity but overall, is enjoyable and will be good with a variety of richer poultry and seafood dishes. | Reserve | 83 | 16 | New York | Finger Lakes | Finger Lakes | Susan Kostrzewa | @suskostrzewa | Buttonwood Grove 2005 Reserve Chardonnay (Finger Lakes) | Chardonnay | Buttonwood Grove |
| 19657 | 19656 | US | Jammy and direct, this Marsanne has flavors of peaches, limes, honeysuckle and vanilla. It's a simple wine whose acidity will check Asian food or something tasty and sweet, like ham. | Estate | 83 | 18 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | | | Wellington 2006 Estate Marsanne (Sonoma Valley) | Marsanne | Wellington |
| 19658 | 19657 | Portugal | A full-bodied wine, with acidity and ripe white fruits. It is soft, lightly sweetened and easy to drink. | Periquita | 83 | | Terras do Sado | | | Roger Voss | @vossroger | José Maria da Fonseca 2006 Periquita White (Terras do Sado) | Portuguese White | José Maria da Fonseca |
| 19659 | 19658 | US | This is a sharp, high-toned Cabernet, which begins with nail polishy aromas and some cherry candy flavors, then quickly tails off. It lacks both depth and detail, making it difficult to understand what merits the reserve designation. | Buren Vineyard Reserve | 83 | 32 | Oregon | Applegate Valley | Southern Oregon | Paul Gregutt | @paulgwine | Troon 2005 Buren Vineyard Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Applegate Valley) | Cabernet Sauvignon | Troon |
| 19660 | 19659 | US | Except for a taste of cooked grapes, this is a pretty good Sangiovese. It's dry and crisp in acidity, with a nice earthiness behind the cherries. But you can taste the burnt berries that just got roasted under the hot sun of this vintage. | | 83 | 15 | California | Cienega Valley | Central Coast | | | Pietra Santa 2004 Sangiovese (Cienega Valley) | Sangiovese | Pietra Santa |
| 19661 | 19660 | US | The problem with this Zin is high alcohol. In this case, the berry fruit and overall structure just aren't sturdy enough. That lets the alcohol star, making the wine hot and unbalanced. | Monte Rosso Vineyard | 83 | 45 | California | Sonoma Valley | Sonoma | | | Rancho Zabaco 2005 Monte Rosso Vineyard Zinfandel (Sonoma Valley) | Zinfandel | Rancho Zabaco |

| 19663 | 19662 | Argentina | Overall this Tocai is fairly good from start to finish. Apple and matchstick aromas lead to a wide palate. Apple, peach and persimmon flavors show a bit of salt and finish short. | Fincas | 85 | 14 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Alfredo Roca 2016 Fincas Tocai (Mendoza) | Tocai | Alfredo Roca |
| 19664 | 19663 | Argentina | Tea, tomato, baking spice and briny red-plum aromas lead to a creamy, almost candied palate. Flavors of plum and dried cherry carry plenty of oak plus pepper and spice notes. Finishing flavors of cocoa, nutmeg and clove are derivative of barrel aging. | Año Cero | 85 | 17 | Mendoza Province | La Consulta | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Altocedro 2016 Año Cero Pinot Noir (La Consulta) | Pinot Noir | Altocedro |

| 19668 | 19667 | France | This is an earthy, rustic wine with tannins that set its black fruit firmly in place. Juicy acidity and black currant flavor give it a lift on the finish.

| 19669 | 19668 | France | Rose gold in color, this rosé smells fresh and inviting, with pleasant underripe strawberry, mango and citrus zest scents.

| 19671 | 19670 | US | Black plum and black currant are jammy on the brambly nose. The smooth tannins take a backseat to the jammy and plummy black fruits on the medium-bodied palate. There is just enough acidity to keep this wine from turning flabby. Black plum, a touch of baking spice and warmth linger on the finish. | | 85 | 25 | Colorado | Grand Valley | | Fiona Adams | @bkfiona | The Infinite Monkey Theorem 2015 Malbec (Grand Valley) | Malbec | The Infinite Monkey Theorem |

| 19676 | 19675 | Argentina | Lean, largely neutral citrus aromas set up a palate with medium weight. Melon, pineapple and passion-fruit flavors are fresh but minimal. A bright finish makes this a good match for ceviche. | Sustainably Farmed Estate Grown and Bottled | 85 | 10 | Mendoza Province | Mendoza | | Michael Schachner | @wineschach | Zolo 2016 Sustainably Farmed Estate Grown and Bottled Sauvignon Blanc (Mendoza) | Sauvignon Blanc | Zolo |
| 19677 | 19676 | US | Aromas of lemon juice and graham cracker show on the nose and carry to the persistantly foamy palate.
