White wines for spring

[redwinegulper]

I am going to do a tasting of a bunch of white wines to select a few house wines for this season. In Spring and Summer I prefer light, crisp, unoaked wines. I am going to taste several Sauv Blancs (france,US, NZ), viognier, soave, and orvietto. My price range is $10-20. Has anyone tasted something they would add to the list.

Thanks and cheers....Ed

Ed,

I noticed you mentioned Soave; don't forget Anselmi's wines which, although that is their place of origin, do not say Soave on the label.

Others that may interest:

Torres, Vina Sol,

Any of the wines from Rueda, including Naia, Martinsancho and others,

And if bubbles does not disqualify a choice, Cava and Proseco are inexpensive and worth a try,

Godello, such as that from Bodega Senorio is very nice,

Albarino from Pazo de Senorans, Burgans and others,

Greco de Tufo, Fahangina and Fiano de Avelino are lovely Italian whites and Feudi de San Gregorio makes each,

and many, many more.

But all of the above can be found in your price range.

Best, Jim

Lots of good suggestions for unoaked CA sauvignon blancs here.

A New Zealand Marlborough S. Blanc producer that I have really enjoyed is Isabel.
