Cult classics are your thing, especially if they're limited editions. This is an "up talking into the wee hours of the night" kind of white, just like the winemakers from this famed California house who picked these grapes in the dark, aged them in French oak, and made them into this coveted, rare reserve of creamy, toasty, butterscotch-y goodness. Put a few away for safekeeping before they're gone forever.
When you want a solid white from a legendary winemaker but don't want to take the whole wine thing too seriously, Conundrum is your wingman. A blend from the famed Wagner Family in Napa Valley (of Caymus fame), this is the kind of wine that winemakers drink when they're off duty: playing with their wine, rather than playing with their food, mixing different bottles together to see what they can come up with - "the heck with the rules," says the legend himself, winemaker Chuck Wagner. And we're all big winners from that kind of earnest rule-breaking, because this light and juicy white blend celebrates everything that's best about California whites from the family that wasn't afraid to bring white blends back to the table. This non-traditional "mystery" blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Sémillon and Muscat Canelli has been charming both casual wine drinkers and serious critics every single year since its introduction 1989.
First time hosting happy hour at your new place, you want to show off but not seem like you're trying too hard. Relax. Throw together a simple goat cheese flatbread cut into finger food (we won't judge if it's frozen from a certain trader), a fresh, spicy greens salad and maybe some clam dip and pop open this funky, tart French white - a fierce and distinctive Sauvignon Blanc from a small-batch producer in France's Loire Valley, where the chalky soil was once a seabed and adds a gravelly almost saltiness. Everyone will just remember how much fun they had, and the great the food, wine & laughter.
It's raining. Your Seamless delivery just arrived. The next obvious step is to crack open this Finger Lakes Dry Riesling. Empire Estate's dry style brings about a burst of acidity layered with ginger, lemon and lime zest that finishes like biting into a Summer peach - proving that Riesling doesn't have to be sweet. All of that acid and aromatics are the perfect pairing to wash away any number of items from Thai food to designer salads. New York state wine and delivery; If that's not an empire state of mind we don't know what is.
When wine critics print "OMG" in their reviews, you know this bottle is a keeper — hopefully just like your newly betrothed. Louis Latour, one of the most renown French winemakers dating back to 1797, captured the very best of a white Burgundy in this Grand Cru: a layered, full-bodied white, dense with fruit and super concentrated. Uncork this stunner on your 1st anniversary.
Luna Nuda, or naked moon, is your new spirit animal in a bottle. Based on centuries of Italian winemaking heritage, this family-owned winery follows the waxing and waning of the moon to create grape greatness. Their Pinot Grigio isn't your average RHONY bottling. It's grown in Alto Adige, Italy - the ultimate terroir for Pinot G. - expressing stone fruit flavors with hints of herbs and almonds. We'd proudly crack this open at any outdoor gathering or, you know, because Wednesday.
On that first gorgeous day of spring/summer, when you can finally kick off your shoes and savor a glass on the deck with your favorites, this bright Chardonnay is Mother Nature's gift.

Winemakers Jayson Pahlmeyer and Kale Anderson run a tight ship, hand-sorting grapes to make sure only the very best make it into their iconic wines. This particular bottle has long been sold out at the winery, the final vintage of a critically acclaimed wine that you really want curated into your collection. Pair it with a cheese board including some smoked meats and tropical fruit.
