You say al-lee-GOH-tay, I say ... drink this wine ASAP. Jed Steele's Shooting Star Washington State Aligoté ($14) is a tangy, tasty delight, with bracing lemon flavors and clean acidity. Known mostly as the (poor) second white grape of Burgundy behind chardonnay, aligoté is rarely seen on these shores; this wine proves the fallacy of that notion. Try it with virtually any seafood or chicken dish.
