I have been drinking SQN whites of recent vintage and they have been outstanding. I am not a fan of drinking the reds young, but the whites are excellent with very little age. I especially like the 2020 Distenta White II.

Jay,
I don’t disagree, but I also think the whites age really well. I do think the recent Distenta whites are outstanding. I think they vary a lot (vintage to vintage, that is) and range from the savory to the tropical to the zesty/citrusy and it’s always enjoyable to see what the newest one is going to be.
Distenta I white last night with 3-pepper chicken from the local Asian Kitchen was a great match - the chilis and chili oil core helped tame (maybe counter-balance is a better way to say it) the heat of the wine. Also worked with scallion pancake and some fried shrimp with sweet chili sauce.
