Vermentino di Sardegna, Sella & Mosca, 1996/7 (Oddbins Baggot Street, Blackrock, Clontarf and Churchtown, £4.99; also Pettitts in the south-east and a few other outlets).
An ultra-crisp and fresh Sardinian white. Even if you don't buy it now, scribble the name down for what we hope this year will be a summer.
MezzaCorona Pinot Grigio, Trentino, 1997 (Mitchells, £6.99).
I loved this Pinot Grigio, floral and fruity at first, creamy in the middle, tinglingly dry in the finish - and you'd be mad not to love the price. Flashback to last week's column: it's from organically grown grapes.
Castello di Brolio Torricella, Chardonnay di Toscana, 1996 (McCabes Merrion, Carvills Camden Street, Greenacres Wexford and some other outlets, usually about £13.50).
The Ricasoli family are back in control at this fine old Tuscan estate, producing serious wines like this harmonious, classy Chardonnay.
