Paolo Bea, "Santa Chiara", Local/International Varieties, Umbria, IT 2018
Paolo Bea’s Santa Chiara is a vibrant, skin-contact white wine from Umbria that blends local and international grapes into something wildly expressive and full of soul. With notes of dried apricot, herbs, citrus peel, and a savory edge, it’s textured, complex, and made naturally—no additives, no filtering, just pure, living wine. If you want a white that drinks more like a conversation than a sip, this is it.

00 Wines, "VGW",Chardonnay, Willamette, OR 2022
A striking blend of zesty acidity and mineral-driven complexity with bright lemon-citrus, fresh yellow pear, subtle flint, and oyster-shell nuances. You need to drink this because it offers superb balance and clarity—drinking beautifully now yet built to age—with the provenance and winemaking cred to back it as a standout Oregon Chardonnay that rivals top old-world white Burgundies.

Luis Seabra, "Mono C", Castelão, Douro, PT 2021
This is Portugal's Castelão, but make it Luis Seabra - minimal intervention, maximum vibe. Bright red fruit, a little earthy funk, and a chillable attitude that screams 'weeknight hero' or 'picnic flex'. It's glou-glou with a passport and a philosophy degree. Pair with the Peking Duck & you'll never stop talking about this wine.

Enfield, 'Shake Ridge Ranch,' Gran Reserva, Tempranillo, Amador, CA 2014
Enfield’s Tempranillo from Shake Ridge Ranch is like Spain on a California vacation — juicy dark cherry, cocoa, and a little dusty-leather swagger, all polished by cool Amador nights. It’s deliciously easy to drink yet quietly serious, the kind of bottle that makes dinner taste better and you feel like you absolutely nailed the wine choice. Cheers!

Podere il Saliceto, 'Albone,' Lambrusco Salamino, Emilia-Romagna, IT 2023
This Lambrusco has vibrant acidity and fine, lively bubbles that cut beautifully through the richness of duck, while its dark-berry fruit and subtle spice echo the dish’s sweet-savory glaze. Light tannins and a gently dry finish keep each bite feeling fresh. It’s an irresistibly drinkable, lightly sparkling red that delivers both fun and finesse at the table.

Joshua Cooper, 'Old Port Rìgh Vineyard,' Victoria, AU 2018
Crackles with energy—laser-bright acidity, flinty tension, and luxe barrel spice that slice through Peking duck’s richness while amplifying its sweet glaze. Its combination of precision and plush texture turns the pairing into something decadent yet electric. This is a thrilling, high-definition Chardonnay for guests who want a white wine that doesn’t just stand up to bold flavors—it elevates them.

$150

Domaine Karydas, Xinomavro, Naoussa, GR 2020
A wildly expressive red—think sun-drenched tomatoes, dark cherries, rose petals, and a savory hint of spice wrapped in fine, architectural tannins. It’s both rustic and elegant, delivering the depth of a serious wine with the vibrancy that keeps you reaching for another sip. A bottle for guests who want character, charm, and a genuinely distinctive Greek classic.

$106
