($23): Riás Baixas, a small area tucked away in Galicia in north western Spain, can make cutting white wines, like this one, from the Albariño grape. Grandbazan’s 2020 delivers a hint of grapefruit rind pithiness and good depth. Not a pre-dinner sipping wine because it might take the enamel off your teeth. Typically, it is a wine for the summer, because of it edginess refreshing character. But frankly, it goes equally well at this time of the year with tomato-based seafood dishes because of both its acidity and body.
