Bill Zacharkiw's Wines of the Week: Dec. 29, 2017

Under $16
Dão 2016, Quinta da Ponte Pedrinha, Portugal white, $15.75, SAQ # 10760492. Hard to beat at this price. Full of lime rinds and spice, with a rich mid-palate and finishing with a slight bitterness that adds extra refreshment. Chardonnay-esque in its texture, but far more interesting than most chardonnays at this price level. Grape varieties: encruzado, cerceal branco. Residual sugar: 4 g/L. Serve at: 10-12 C. Drink now. Food pairing idea: apéritif, smoked salmon with
