Here are 20 winter wines for $20 apiece that offer not only value but also intrigue. Still, I do make adjustments, seeking out fuller-bodied wines among both whites and reds. The Eyrie Vineyards Dundee Hills Pinot Blanc 2011 In the last few years, I've really come to appreciate pinot blanc, a grape that rarely gets its due. It makes a wine characterized more by texture than fruit flavor, and so doesn't lend itself to effusive description. I love this wine, from a pioneering Oregon producer. It's creamy yet lively, rich yet energetic. In short, delicious. Destro Terre Siciliane Nausìca I.G.T. Bianco 2012 The reds from Mount Etna in Sicily get most of the attention, but the whites are fascinating. This one, from Destro, made of both carricante and catarratto, is provocatively fragrant, with an almost resinous, lemon balsam aroma. The wine blossoms as it warms in the glass, becoming pleasantly savory. It will get even better with another year of age. Panebianco, New York Left Foot Charley Michigan Riesling Dry 2011 Michigan? As is often said, all 50 states now make wine, but Michigan is one of a handful making notable wines with excellent potential. If you can find Left Foot Charley's riesling - Michigan's best white grape - it's absolutely worth trying. It's bone dry, with an almost decadent aroma of dried flowers and stones, and is exceedingly refreshing. Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Trocken 2012 In recent years, the Germans have moved decisively toward dry rieslings. This modest but lively trocken is an excellent example from the Rheingau, with a little more body than you might find from, say, the Mosel. It's fresh, tangy and winning, with nutlike, melon, mineral flavors. Bonhomie Wine Imports, South Orange, N.J. Alfred Merkelbach Mosel Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett 2012 Is it wrong for a winter wine to be graceful, delicate and light-bodied? Beauty is always in season, and this lightly sweet riesling is gorgeous, harmonious, graceful and delicate. It's the balance that draws me in. Pure pleasure. A Terry Theise Selection/Michael Skurnik Wines, Syosset, N.Y. Kabaj Goriska Brda Ravan 2010
