TUA RITA PERLATO del BOSCO TOSCANA VERMENTINO 2020 $58.99 Owned by Rita Tua and her husband Virgilio Bisti, the estate is located in Suvereto in Northern Maremma and then thanks to some stelar reviews in the wine press, Tua Rita has gone from a relatively unknown to a world famous producer. "A pure expression of Vermentino, the Tua Rita 2020 Perlato del Bosco Bianco shows fresh aromas of green apple, white peach, dried sage and crushed stone. Because of the heat of the growing season, fruit for this wine was harvested earlier than normal. Thanks to the age of the vines' root systems and the root stock used, the wine breezes through this more challenging growing season." R.Parker 91
R de RIEUSSEC VIN BLANC SEC BORDEAUX 2022 $68.99 Chateau Rieussec R de Rieussec is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc 57% and Semillon 43%, with 20% fermentation in barrels which adds flesh, weight and textural qualities to this classic Bordeaux white wine.

The attack is lively and fresh, with a very mineral, chalky aspect. The palate is clean and lively, slightly toasted, with a saline finish prolonged by a gentle grapefruit bitterness."
