This certainly seems like a wine made for guzzling during a pandemic. Mouth-filling flavors of green apples and Asian pear lead to a soft, clean and slyly sweet finish that leaves you ready for more. More of what? Anything that brightens your rough day, such as almonds, a slightly funky brie or another glass of wine.

At the price point, it is well worth a look for summer drinking.

This Bulgarian white has aromas of white peach, honeysuckle and Granny Smith apple. In the mouth, lively acidity lifts flavors of apple, lemon curd and lemon zest before the crisp finish.
