    20-Buck Bottle: An approachable white

    This Loire Valley blend will please most palates


    2016 Domaine de la Fruitiere Vignes Blanches 2016

    This wine from Dilworth Tasting Room can hold up to most seafood and poultry dishes. Kristen Wile/UP

    Available at: Dilworth Tasting Room, Dilworth
    Price: $16 

    On the nose: Ripe peach, limestone
    On the palate: Stone fruit, pineapple, and a light acidity with a heavier body than you’d expect
    On the plate: This wine has just enough sweetness to it to be a fitting pairing with a hard cheese or a lemon chicken dish.

    Our take: This white blend is a dependable dinner bottle that will impress house guests, even those who prefer red wine. With a full body and bright finish, it will hold up to most dishes on your dinner table, from turkey to seafood. There’s a 95 percent chance we buy this Loire Valley blend again.
