White Wine by Cline from California. Viognier is a tricky grape to grow. Its natural low acidity requires it to be picked at just the right moment. With this blend Cline chose grapes from vineyards that offered flavors indicative of the appellations from which they came. Solano County was chosen for its grapes are blessed with ample sun and provided maximum flavors. Cline's Mendocino vineyards, basked in warm days and cold nights contributed to the full-body weight of this wine and their Carneros vineyard was chosen because of its longer cool growing season. Cline Viognier shows big peach and apricot flavors mixed with citrus and floral notes. The wine is a powerhouse of flavor and is full-bodied so it will make and excellent match with flavorful foods like Mediterranean stew and spicy Mexican dishes.

White Wine by Val de Sil from Spain. One of the most exciting white wines available on the market today for the price. Fresh, bright, racy flavors of white peach and almonds. Unique and delicious - from 140 year old vines. The Prada family began to plant Godello in 1885 on old stone terraces high on the hillsides surrounding the river Sil, which cuts through the scenic valley of Valdeoras in Spain's northwest region of Galicia. In close proximity and therefore heavily influenced by the Atlantic's high levels of rainfall and relative humidity, the delicate terraces of crushed blue slate are organically cultivated with grass cover between rows to prevent erosion. Val de Sil owns significant parcels of the mineral rich Godello, including a remarkable 140 year old single vineyard that will find its way to only a few fortunate enthusiasts.
