Montecillo, Rias Baixas (Galicia, Spain) Albariño “Verdemar” 2009

($11, Underdog Wine Merchants):  Montecillo makes wonderful Rioja.  It turns out they do an admirable job with Albariño as well.  The Verdemar has a certain Muscadet-like character to it with an appealing chalky minerality and bright acidity.  It would be an excellent choice for simply broiled fish. Look at the price. 87 Michael Apstein Feb 1, 2011
