I get a little thrill when I come across a wine that could sell for more than its price, especially when that bottle is widely available. I came across quite a few such wines recently as I tasted the bestselling wines in the United States for the second edition of my book, Good Better Best Wines, to be released in November. The fleshy layers are threaded with warm baking spices including cinnamon, nutmeg and a dash of allspice; and every sip finishes with a light topcoat of silken vanilla cream. This gorgeous, articulate Chardonnay drinks like a wine worth more than $18. Score: 902017 Frontera Sauvignon Blanc, Concha y Toro, Chile (LCBO 524348 $9.10/750mL bottle, LCBO 113019 $15.25/1500mL bottle — both available in stores and online)
