    It was difficult to find a really good Albariño at this price but we’ve certainly found one here.  This joins the Muscadet and the Picpoul in the deliciousness table with shellfish. Fresh acidity combines with ripe citrus fruit to provide a great alternative to the best whites of the Eastern Loire.
