($36, Petit Pois Corporation / Fleet Street Wine Merchants):  Pinot Blanc can often be light and innocuous.  Not in the hands of Barmès-Buecher. Biodynamic since 2001, family owned and run Barmès-Buecher shows how captivating Pinot Blanc can be.  Vibrant acidity balances and amplifies its density and pear-like nuances.  A soothing roundness allows enjoyment as a stand-alone aperitif, while good weight cuts through grilled swordfish.  In short, it is an all-around superb summertime choice.
