Enoteca Vin's Chrish Peel names the top 10 wines he likes to pour, with the retail price per bottle.
2002 Jean-Marc Brocard Kimmeridgien Chardonnay from Chablis ($13) Premier cru quality and style at a terrific price.
2000 Decker Sonoma County Chardonnay ($15) This rare California Chardonnay is deftly balanced.
2002 F. X. Pichler Frauenweingarten Grüner Veltliner Federspiel ($20) A dry, spicy Austrian white that's amazingly food friendly.
1999 Valentini Trebbiano d'Abruzzo ($50) Italy's most singular white has the fullness of a white Burgundy grand cru.
2003 Bruno Clair Marsannay Rosé ($20) The best dry rosé in Burgundy, if not France; the 2003 vintage is especially juicy.
2001 RBJ Vox Populi ($10) This Australian Grenache shows off the Barossa Valley's signature cherry fruit.
2000 Château Tourans Terre Blanche ($25) A terrific St-Émilion that's dark, smoky and already quite appealing for the vintage.
1995 Poggio Antico Brunello di Montalcino ($40) A fairly traditional Brunello that highlights the appellation's nobility.
2000 Robert Chevillon Les Vaucrains Nuits-St-Georges ($50) A top-quality red Burgundy that's extremely rich and full.
Nonvintage R. H. Coutier Blanc de Blancs Brut ($30) More powerful than most Côtes des Blancs Champagnes, but still brilliantly vivid and complex.
