Our top picks for spring are whites, both brimming with notes of citrus.
Palmer Vineyards recently released its 1,800 cases of 2014 Chenin Blanc, just in time to replenish their sold out 2013 vintage. A crisp, light bodied wine with hints of grapefruit and lemongrass. The secret sauce to this one is its mineral undertones infused by the salt air of the Long Island Sound.
Paumanok’s 2014 Chenin Blanc. Its dry, tart finish of grapefruit and pineapple makes this a favorite pairing with oysters and other shellfish. Chilled, we think it’s perfect on it’s own.
