Guillemot-Michel Vire Clesse is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Beautifully expressive, with yellow fruits, orange blossom, smoke & flint. Thick and saline on entry, then seriously deep in the mid-palate, with suggestions of exotic fruits perfectly countered by strong minerality. This wine strikes a perfect balance between sweet and salty elements, and it shows vibrant acidity. It boasts a thickness that few other northern Mâconnais can match.
Enjoy with fish (such as sole meuniere), seafood, roasted chicken, goat cheese.
Review:
"The 2018 Viré-Clessé Quintaine is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with a lovely bouquet of honeyed citrus fruit, fresh pastry and orange blossom. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and supple, it's elegantly textural and refined, with a fragrant core of fruit and a long, penetrating finish. Even though it will reward a bit of bottle age, it's slightly finer-boned than the more concentrated, muscular 2017, so I would opt to drink this immensely charming wine before its older sibling. – William Kelley"

Podrumi Krešić Graševina is made from 100% Graševina.
From the banks of the Danube in picturesque Šarengrad, Croatia, this wine reflects a story of love for the land and winemaking tradition. The Podrumi Krešić winery was founded by Dario Krešić, with the first vineyard planted in 2006. Today, six carefully selected vineyard sites between Šarengrad and Opatovac produce distinctive wines from the Slavonia region.
Graševina (also known as Welschriesling) is Croatia’s most widely planted grape variety. This fresh, aromatic white wine offers notes of green apple, citrus, and white flowers, with a crisp acidity and clean finish.
Pairs well with fresh seafood, light salads, and appetizers.
