One of the hottest things going is Albarino. If you've tried a top Albarino, you're in the know. If you haven't tried one, here's your chance to start with one of the best. For me, it's one of the most interesting white grape varieties. In terms of vibrancy, purity, expressiveness and character, it's tough to beat. This one has links to Doug Shafer. Yes, the guy from Shafer Vineyards. A tiny amount was made in stainless steel barrels (something that's becoming much more common). Pale in color, but loaded with character, fresh, bright, lively, there's plenty of acidity, but it's delicate and refined. Drink it with any seafood or poultry dish. I had with my attempt at wonton soup, loved it. It's drinks well on day two, but some of the aromatics did fade. Total production 400 cases. Drink now through 2021.       .
