2006 Tres Olmos Verdejo
Rueda
$17
Tres Olmos is that rare wine that smells great, tastes just right, and lingers for a long time on your palate. Almond, pear and citrus aromas smartly give way to a wave of blended citrus fruits, and the finish is long and confident.

89 Points
($13) Pale gold. Spicy citrus and pear aromas are complemented by notes of salty minerals and herbs. Tangy and sharply focused, with racy lemon and lime flavors and a nervy mineral underpinning. This bracing wine drinks well by itself and would be great with raw oysters. - J.R.(International Wine Cellar Sept/Oct 2009)

2007 Casamaro Blanco
Rueda
$14; a 90/10 blend of verdejo and Viura
Light yellow, with a faint CO2 haze. Pungent lemon and pear aromas are complemented by subtle floral and herbal qualities, picking up dusty minerals with air. Medium-weight orchard fruit and melon flavors are given bite by bitter quinine and lemon zest. Becomes deeper and sweeter on the finish but retains very good energy, leaving Meyer lemon and candied pear notes behind. I wouldn't hesitate to serve this with richer seafood dishes. -J.R.
