A White Variety: 5 Reviews of the Best Wines Under $15

Chateau Ste. Michelle Columbia Valley Riesling 2008
I really enjoy all the wines I’ve tasted from Chateau Ste. Michelle but when it comes to the best white wines, I make a bee line to their Riesling. The aromas are bursting with lime and other citrus fruits. The wine is semi-sweet, light and fizzy, reminiscent of sparkling wine minus the bubbles. Serve it chilled at a temperature around 55 degrees F. You can find the wine at most wine retailers for around $10.99.

Helfrich Vin D’ Alsace Gewurztraminer 2008
A classic French wine from the Alsace region which is noted for some of the best white wine. Full bodied and creamy, the finish is long with a touch of acidity. Imported from France, is available around the USA and is priced at $14.99. A little wine trivia for you; the Gewürztraminer grape is a variety with a pink to red skin color, making it a white wine grape, as opposed to the blue to black-skinned varieties referred to as red wine grapes.

St Francis Chardonnay Sonoma County 2009
Aromas full of pineapple and apple waft out of the glass. Flavors consist of crisp citrus, melon and tropical fruit. Not too much oak and a touch of honey in the finish. High acidity but is well balanced and not overwhelming. All and all this is a very light, refreshing and a nice easy drinking Chardonnay. The wine can be found nationally for around $15.

Murphy Goode Sauvignon Blanc The Fumé (North Coast) 2008
No pun intended but Murphy Goode consistently produces really good quality wines. Made up of 100% Sauvignon Blanc, the bouquet is packed with tropical fruit and citrus. Do you have a favorite recipe for fresh fish? Try this one priced at just $8.99, it’s a quality best white wine at a bargain price.

Concannon Conservancy Livermore Valley Chardonnay 2008
Bright yellow in the glass, aromas of pineapple, mango and peaches just scream summer wine. The wine has a creamy mouthfeel and a lite and refreshing citrus finish. The flavors are buttery but not the typical over the top butter flavor that California Chardonnay used to be famous for. I say “used to” because like all things, the taste of California Chards have evolved along with consumers palates. Many California winemakers produce Chardonnays in a lighter, crisper style. The Concannon Conservancy Chardonnay is found nationally and priced at $15.

The above recommendations are just a smattering of the great tasting white wines produced for $15 and under. You can purchase wine online at wines.com. Budget minded wine lovers can rejoice as many winemakers continue to dedicate themselves to producing great tasting and affordable wines. Cheers!
