Five tasty wine picks from Wilibees' beer and wine bar

Are you set for your pre-dinner sip?

In Sonoma County, it’s all about discovery, and you get points if you surprise your mate with a unique bottling to uncork before dinner. Who wants to talk about carpool duty and bills when you could be chatting about an edgy sauvingon blanc with a streak of jalapeño?

Here are five tasty bottlings under $20.

Lucky Rock Wine Co., 2013 Sonoma County Pinot Noir, 13.5%, $16. A tangy pinot with bright cherry fruit, crisp acidity and a lingering finish. A steal for the price.

Gris Blanc, 2014 Pays D’OC, France Rosé, 12.5%, $13. A tasty rosé with crisp acidity, refreshing fruit and bright minerality. Finishes dry. Lovely.

Gewurz, 2014 Mendocino County Gewurztraminer, 12.8%, $10. An aromatic gewürztraminer that follows through to the palate. Notes of grapefruit, pear, mineral and spice. Striking.

Villa Locatelli, 2014 Isanzo del Friuli Pinot Grigio, 12.5%, $13. Aromatic with notes of peach and apricot. On the palate, flavors of melon, mineral and peach. Refreshing.

Starborough, 2014 New Zealand, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, 12.5%, $11. A New Zealand-styled sauvignon blanc at its best - edgy. Aromas and flavors of grapefruit, mineral and jalapeño. Spicy finish. A smart buy.
