Crisp. Drinkable. Refreshing. A good white wine is all of these things, which makes it the perfect choice for summertime. But a great white wine isn’t simply quaffable — it can be complex and exhilarating, too, elevating your dining experience and introducing you to sensations you’ve never felt before.

Hand-selected by Dave Mattern, Truluck’s Beverage Director, these exquisite wines invite you to explore and experiment, starting with familiar varietals and branching out to more far-flung corners of the wine-producing world. We’ve made them available by the glass as well as the bottle, making it easy to sample and pair with your favorite snack or entrée.

While each wine is unique, a vibrant and distinct expression of a beloved style, all of them pair wonderfully with the ocean’s finest seafood. Dive in and discover something extraordinary.

King Estate Domaine Pinot Gris, Oregon

This is a crisp and richly satisfying wine that rivals some of the world’s best. Discover notes of pear, citrus, and tropical fruit on the nose, with bright acidity and abundant fruit flavors on the palate. A gorgeous expression of Pinot Gris from the Willamette Valley.

🍷Pairs well with: Broiled Salmon, Miso-Glazed Seabass

 

Atelier Chardonnay, Russian River Valley

An amazing wine from a renowned region in Sonoma County, this elegant Chardonnay drinks like a domestic version of a Pouilly-Fuissé, a white Burgundy. Expert winemaker Ondine Chattan uses barrel fermentation and 18% new oak to produce a gorgeous vintage with bright fruit notes and a luxurious finish.

🍷Pairs well with: South African Cold-Water Lobster Tail

Pewsey Vale Dry Riesling, Australia

Located in Australia’s idyllic Eden Valley, the Pewsey Vale Vineyard is singularly focused on making the world’s best Riesling. This wine is a stone-cold classic with a bone-dry finish, similar to an Alsatian Riesling. It pairs wonderfully with seafood, and its low ABV makes it the perfect summer day sipper.

🍷Pairs well with: Oysters, Ahi Tuna Tartare

 

Domaine Sigalas Assyrtiko, Santorini, Greece

For those unfamiliar with Greek wine, this 100% Assyrtiko makes a fantastic first impression. Assyrtiko is like a cross between a flinty Sancerre and a white Burgundy. The island’s volcanic soil gives this wine a unique mouthfeel and powerful structure, plus great acidity and a long finish. This one is not to be missed.

🍷Pairs well with: Mediterranean Branzino

 

Bucci DOCG Verdicchio, Le Marche, Italy

Produced with organic farming practices in the pristine, rolling hills of Le Marche in eastern Italy, this Verdicchio is known for its extraordinary depth and elegance. Try it as an approachable alternative to Chablis and discover lovely notes of lemon, green apple, and almond.

🍷Pairs well with: Oysters, Prime King Crab, Stone Crab, Fish

Benanti, Etna Bianco, Sicily, Italy

A delicate yet expressive wine that evokes crisp, floral alpine air. Grown in mineral-rich volcanic soils on the slopes of Mount Etna, this 100% Carricante has pleasant acidity and salinity, with a finish that persists on the palate and in memory.

🍷Pairs well with: Stone Crab, Prime King Crab, Fish

 

Vietti Derthrona Timorrasso, Piedmont, Italy

Brought back from the verge of extinction in the 1980s, the Timorasso grape varietal is now thriving in the northern Italian region of Piedmont, and the 100% Timorasso vintages from Vietti vineyards are a joy to drink. This is a full-bodied, aromatic white with fresh acidity and a lingering finish. It’s similar to a Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley, but there’s nothing quite like it.

🍷Pairs well with: South African Cold-Water Lobster Tail, Scallop & Shrimp Sauté

Lunae, Black Label, Vermentino, Tuscany, Italy

This is Tuscan Vementino at its finest, with vibrant acidity, vivacious fruit, and a hint of salinity that screams for seafood. Truluck’s Beverage Director Dave Mattern said it best, “This wine sets me on fire every time I taste it. It has an undeniable verve and energy.” One sip and you’ll feel it, too.

🍷Pairs well with: Oysters

 

Villota Selvanevada Blanco, Rioja, Spain

A stunning, expressive blend of classic Rioja white varietals (primarily Viura, with Garnacha Blanca, Tempranillo Blanco, and Malvasía), and a great value. A white wine from Rioja Alavesa at this price point is a rare find. Savor it now alongside your favorite seafood.

🍷Pairs well with: Oysters, Ahi Tuna Tartare
