Wines in this collection have been specially selected to complement our SUNDAY SCHOOL articles on the aromatic grapes riesling, gewürztraminer, albariño, and torrontes (among others).
Kuentz-Bas Riesling, Alsace
90 points and “Best Buy” from WINE ENTHUSIAST: The nose on this wine allows just slight glimpses of freshly cut red-apple peel. The palate adds zesty notes of lemon and a lovely texture reminiscent of citrus pith. The finish is dry, lasting and lip-smacking, with lemony verve.
Normally $19.99 — COLLECTION PRICE $15.99*
Kung Fu Girl Riesling, Washington
White peach, mandarin orange and apricot are delivered with a core of minerality that makes this dry riesling shimmer with energy and freshness. Another epic vintage of Kung Fu Girl. Pair with spicy ramen, sriracha pork tacos, Chinese takeout.

Trimbach Gewuztraminer, Alsace
91 points and from WINE SPECTATOR: Beeswax and crushed pine notes are layered with poached apple, marcona almond and lemon curd flavors in this dry, medium-bodied version, framed by sleek acidity and petrol-laced minerality. Drink now through 2026.
Normally $28.99 — COLLECTION PRICE $23.19*
Dr. Konstantin Frank Gewürztraminer, Finger Lakes
The wine is clean and delicate on the nose with white flowers, orange zest, and lychee, with a touch of white pepper and ginger. This off-dry wine is balanced with lively acidity and beautiful flavors of honeysuckle, orange blossom, cardamom, and lychee with a mouth-coating long finish. Pairs well with Middle Eastern, Moroccan, Thai, and Asian cuisines, as well as with spicy and aromatic ingredients like pepper, ginger, curry, sesame, and soy, as well as spicy BBQ and wings.
Normally $21.99 — COLLECTION PRICE $17.59*
Foral de Malago Alvarinho, Vinho Verde
91 points and from WINE ETHUSIAST: Produced from old vines in Portugal’s northern Minho Valley, this is a finely textured, ripe and refreshingly tangy wine. Lemon and tight green-apple flavors have a taut mineral texture that will soften over the next few months. Drink from 2021. — Roger Voss
