Whitney Adams, Terroni

When she isn't busy at the Beverly Boulevard hot spot, she's selling vino at Domaine LA or running the show at her blog, Brunellos Have More Fun. Talk about a full plate glass!

2011 Benito Santos Igrexario de Saiar Albariño
"Not your average Albariño, this has some serious mineral depth, saltiness, and lemon-lime citrus. It hasn't met a ceviche or sunny day it didn't like."
Price: $10.32
Available: Here.

2011 Broc Cellars Valdiguié
"This is an old vine Valdiguié (a.k.a. Napa Gamay) from one of California's most exciting winemakers right now. It's perfect for adventurous Pinot lovers and anyone that enjoys a red with an aromatic, earthy, and light touch."
Price: $20
Available: Here.

2011 Bisson Glera
"Dare I call this the cool kids' Prosecco? I will. It's made from the same grape, Glera, but bottle-fermented and sealed with a crown cap. You can bet it tastes super fresh, crunchy, and is highly drinkable."
Price: $19.99
Available: Here.

2011 Janvier Cuvée du Rosier Coteaux du Loir
"A dark Rose or a light red? It's probably the latter, but definitely 100% Pineau d'Aunis. A perfect wine to bridge the gap between summer and fall. I'd equate it to drinking rubies — bright red and translucent."
Price: $18
Available: Here.

2010 Dingač Plavac
"Croatian wine? You bet! It's pure, juicy fruit and an unmistakable nori-like umami quality that makes this wine irresistible and so unique. This is a red for grilled fish or hand rolls, if there ever was one."
Price: $12.95
Available: Here.
