2018 VALETTE ROSÉ OF PINOT
NOIR ($37)
When I’m in Healdsburg, I try to
stop by chef Dustin Valette’s res-
taurant, for his excellent house-
made charcuterie and because
now he’s making his own wines—
like this strawberry-scented,
brightly fresh rosé. (Find them at
valettehealdsburg.com.)2017 CHAPPELLET HIDEAWAY

VALLEY SAUVIGNON BLANC
($28)
I recently opened a five-year-old
vintage of this wine and loved
how its zippy, lemon-zesty youth
shaded into softer melon and
honey notes over time. The 2018
is excellent, and I have no ques-
tion it will age just as gracefully.CHILAQUILES
