Here’s a rough and ready white wine you can serve with appetizers. It’s very dry, with lemon and fig flavors, and quite crisp with acids. Finishes clean, with verve. 1 Note

A weak white wine from Alexander Valley Vineyards. It’s spicy enough, but the fruit is thin and watery. 1 Note

Not a lot on the nose besides distant melon and honey, but the palate is brighter. On offer is a peach, melon and orange flavor profile sitting in front of a round, chunky finish. Ripe but a bit soft-edged. Imported by American Wine Distributors. 1 Note

Fresh and lively with aromas of red apple, pear and lime citrus on the nose backed by muted melon and more citrus in the mouth. Medium weight and nicely balanced with a clean finish. 1 Note

Sweet and syrupy up front, yet bitter and hollow later on. Low acidity creates a flat mouthfeel. Too old. 1 Note

A dry, four-grape white blend (Chenin Blanc, Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay) with citrus-mineral-hay aromas. The palate is similar, and reminiscent of some Italian Pinot Biancos. Finishes clean, with some lemony notes. A decent quaff, with a somewhat unique composition. 1 Note

Another wonderful effort from Covey Run, showing bright, spicy fruit from mostly Yakima Valley vineyards. A portion was barrel fermented and left on the lees, adding unusual complexity and pushing the wine past “simple, fresh and fruity” status. This is genuinely complex and delicious. 1 Note

One of the tastiest, best-made value whites in the world remains Basa, a blend of Verdejo, Viura and Sauvignon Blanc. Since bursting onto the wine scene in the late ’90s, Basa, which means “base” or “foundation” in Spanish, has never failed to excel. In the 2002 version, winemaker Telmo Rodriguez, who began his career at his father’s Remelluri estate in Rioja, has managed to capture the purest grapefruit, passion fruit and citrus flavors, all the while creating a wine with body, bracing acids and simple joy. A surefire apéritif, and also a fine bet for salads or fish. 1 Note
