Five whites to try
Carta Vieja Sauvignon Blanc 2008 ($6.49): A light and lively offering from Locomilla Valley, Chile, this white has aromas of limes and zesty citrus fruit on the palate. A tingly, grassy finish leaves your mouth watering for more. Pair with goat's milk cheese, light salads or fish tacos.-- Brad Hemp, Bella Vino,
Stony Point Fashion Park
Land of Fire White ($6.99): A versatile white and a crowd-pleaser from the Mendoza region of Argentina, this is a blend of 60 percent Chenin Blanc and 40 percent Chardonnay. It's light, crisp and refreshing with floral aromatics and tropical flavors of pear, mango and quince. Unoaked with fresh acidity, it's great with lighter fare, fish or as an aperitif.

The Caboose, Ashland
Star Tree Chardonnay 2008 ($7.49): This unoaked Chardonnay from South Africa exhibits tropical fruit on the nose and the palate. These flavors are backed by a crisp acidity and are followed by a long, clean finish. An outstanding value.

Corner, Chesterfield
Chateau Les Arromans 2007 Entre-Deux-Mers ($11.99): Exhibits classic White Bordeaux styling -- light, dry, citrusy, crisp and flexible for food pairing. Made from Sauvignon Blanc and Semillion grapes. Great with seafood, light soups, salads and other January diet dishes.
-- Julia Battaglini,
River City Cellars, Carytown
Salmon Harbor Chardonnay 2006 ($8.99): Aged in stainless steel, this crisp, medium-weight wine from the Columbia Valley of Washington offers pear and ripe apple with a touch of citrus fruit that make it lively on the palate, fresh and flavorful. Serve with fresh grilled salmon or enjoy as a cocktail with friends.
