Villa Fiori Bianco - £5.39
Price on from Laithwaites.
A smooth clean and ripe white taking the best of two worlds - the indigenous Greganico grape from the warm climate of Sicily balanced with the Chardonnay from the cooler hillsides of the Abruzzan coast - Vino de Tavola in name only! Taking 85% Greganico from Sicily and 15% Chardonnay from the Abruzzo region (both areas had good vintages), young winemaker Scipione Giuliani was keen to make a blend he liked - subject to our approval - and not be constrained by appellation laws, hence the vino di Tavola tag. Excellent with fish in lemony sauces (or just to perk up the cold turkey platter), Villa Fiori's pale lemon colour exudes a simple slightly grassy nose and has a fresh, clean palate, hinting of ripe, floral peach. Very good as a lunchtime aperitif too. ''Everyone is talking about how fantastic today's best Sicilian wines are - and not without reason'' (Decanter). They're packed with flavour, character and are slightly wild, particularly when made with local grape varieties like Grecanico and Catarratto.

Le Sommet Viognier 2005 - £8.29
Price on from Laithwaites.
Spicy, full bodied French Viognier from the Ardeche region - an isolated area that is rarely visited outside the Summer months, when it becomes an adventure playground for tourists interested in water sports.

Here, the Cave de Valvigneres - an award-winning cellar - have crafted a wine that mirrors the creamy, fresh apricot, honey and spice flavours of a top Condrieu ... yet for a much more appealing price! This is a rich, oak-aged white with a creamy texture, flavours of apricots, honey and hazelnuts, and notes of spicy vanilla. Enjoy with rich fish dishes, roast chicken or pheasant. 12.5% vol. Drink by the end of 2007.

L'Ecluse Chardonnay 2002 - £6.99
Price on from Laithwaites.
Praised by the press for its flavour, awarded trophies for value and a Silver medal for quality by international judges ... this is a perfect, all-round Chardonnay that works as an aperitif, with an entree or with a rich fish dish. From Carcassonne in France's Midi, this beat four Grand Cru Chablis, four Meursault and top end New World at the International Wine Challenge. The aim was to create a wine that combined the sunshine ripe fruit of the New World with the classy backbone of French Chardonnay. And did they succeed! Almost honeyed on the nose with round, ripe and generous orange scented pear and apricot flavours. Lovely long palate and very well balanced, this is a big, classy Chardonnay that would make a great alternative to Burgundy. Drink to end 2006.

Chateau l'Ancienne Tuilerie 2004 - £6.69
Price on from Laithwaites.
We stumbled upon this cellar in the early 90s whilst looking for red wines. What we discovered was a cache of great white wines that had been quietly winning medals of a number of years. Winemaker Michel Mouret admits, with some pride, that he works 7 days a week - his family home is attached to the winery and we're sure that at night if he put an ear to the wall he could hear the tanks fermenting. This fresh, zesty Sauvignon is very food-friendly - delicious served with goat's cheese salad, asparagus or grilled fish.

Pech de Calade Roussanne 2005 - £5.99
Price on from Laithwaites.
Though much used to add spice and vibrancy to white Chateauneuf, the Roussanne grape seldom has the chance to shine on its own. Now those in the know are discovering just how good it can be! Pech (meaning little hill) de Calade is made from various domaines near Beziers in France's Midi by Australian supremo Richard Osborne. Selecting only the best parcels when they have reached optimum ripeness, he has created a well-balanced, complex style of wine. A wonderfully rounded mouthful of intense mineral and citrus, this is a weighty, lush style that provides a satisfying glass on its own yet has tons of character to partner food. Chill gently and crack open the bottle with sauced white meats, salmon with a lemon sauce, fish pie or a simple risotto. The cellar recommends Cantal cheese and quiche too!

Aussie Bob Berton is an old friend who has made some of our favourite wines (think Willy Willy!). He has now invested in a cellar all of his own, and this white is one of his first releases.

In Australia's warm climate, this grape stays crisp, fruity and fresh. Pale straw in colour with aromas of lime, passionfruit and apple tart. Generous passionfruit and kiwi flavours. Delicious on its own, or enjoyed with warm lime and coriander chicken salad, creamy fish dishes or simply cold meats.
