Ramón Bilbao, Rueda (Castilla y León, Spain) Verdejo 2022

($18, Zamora Company):  Founded in Rioja over a hundred years ago and focused on wines from there, Ramón Bilbao expanded to Rueda and built a winey there in 2016.  The talents they exhibit in their Rioja are readily apparent in this floral and fresh Rueda.  This lightweight white is perfect for summertime sipping or drinking.  Bracing citrus acidity augments its charm and makes it perfectly suited to light summertime fare.
