Villa Mare Bianco - £4.99Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.Cream-of-the-crop white that marries Sicily's full-flavoured Grecanico with speciality Catarrato plus a dash of melony Chardonnay. Absolutely top value. And that's because the grapes are sourced from top vineyards in both Sicily and Italy's high Abruzzi hills - hence the humble Vino da Tavola tag. One sip and you'll agree it should cost much more. Crafted by talented young winemaker Scipione Giuliani, who has used his experience of barrel-aged wines to give more complexity. Pale lemon in colour. Simple peachy and slightly grassy nose with a fresh, clean palate, hints of ripe peach and slight floral tones. Supremely quaffable at a great price. With its jagged coasts, seething volcanos and stony hillsides, Sicily emblemises the Mediterranean but - despite being one of Italy's most important regions in terms of quantity - its quality wines are less well known. That is now changing.
Domaine Mercadier Chardonnay - £4.99Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.Master winemaker Philippe Mercadier has a display cabinet full of awards, including a Gold medal from London's biggest wine show. His family own several famous chateaux in Bordeaux including, for many decades now, Domaine Mercadier in the northern part of the Corbieres region. Here Philippe is renowned for luxurious, buttery Chardonnay. However, to protect local varieties officials have outlawed 100% Chardonnays. Philippe is so obsessive about the quality of his high altitude grapes that he's made one anyway - with magnificent results. He accepts having to label his wine as a humble Vin de Pays, and in this tough economic climate, he's happy to keep the price right down. Deliciously rounded with clean citrus and green apple flavours. Lively and fresh on the finish - it's a stunning partner to rich, creamy chicken dishes.

Pavillon de Lobre 2005 2005 - £5.15Price on 16-Jun-08 from Laithwaites.Medal-winning Pavillon de Lobre sits between zippy Sauvignon and rich Chardonnay in style, so is highly recommended for entertaining. It's from the pretty village where painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born and was handcrafted from a characterful local grape, Loin de L'Oeil, meaning ''far from the eye'' or bud. A crisp, lively wine with exuberant citrus aromas and ripe lime, green apples and gooseberry flavours. Crisp yet weighty, it's ideal as an aperitif or as accompaniment to fish dishes.
