OCEANIC
Freestone and Rías Baixas face different oceans, but they both face them
head on. If you appreciate the coastal freshness in the Phelps wine, this
albariño may make you smile. It's sunny and bright, easier and less stark
in its coastal saltiness. * If you want stark, look to the Sta. Rita Hills,
where the ocean winds and remarkably poor soils contribute to wines like
this Sandhi chardonnay. The extreme climate and exposed hilltop site
makes for an uncompromisingly austere chardonnay. "I like the wine a
lot," Sykora admits, "but it's not very welcoming. I like the severity of it-
you have to be a bit of a masochist. But that's what I like about
Sta. Rita Hills chardonnay; it's the only California chardonnay made for
masochists." * Match an albariño with a poached prawns;
grill the prawns for Sta. Rita Hills chardonnay.

WINE & SPIRITS
AMPLITUDE
Here are two wines that echo the savory depth of the Oregon chardonnay and amp
up the richness. Olivier Humbrecht, a Master of Wine, makes this Alsace pinot gris
from several of his top parcels planted in calcareous soils. He ferments it
completely dry (not necessarily standard practice in Alsace) and builds a
formidable wine with satisfying meaty richness. * The richness of La Nerthe is
based on a different constellation of flavors. This is a selection from a small, walled
vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where roussanne and clairette grow in riverstone soils. They produce a luxurious wine with scents of beeswax and bitter herbs.
"Its breadth and its nutty, olive-oil richness would be recognizable to someone who
drinks California chardonnay like Landmark," Sykora believes. "There's an exotic
spice that's coming from the fruit rather than the oak." You could also compare this
wine to the Meursault for its complexity and polish. * Savory Alsace pinot gris is
a match for veal in a cream sauce; a ripe Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc
is made for pork chops with grilled peaches.
