($12)
was a tasty little thirst quencher at
happy hour. A blend of Chardonnay and
Sauvignon Blanc, it offers some ripe apple
and medium-bodied character that is brightened
and lightened with citrus and mineral
notes. Perfect for pairing with barfood
fried snacks. Ready to drink now. (Picks
& Nibbles, 09/07)
($32). Wonderful stuff, with rich, concentrated
apple and juicy tropical fruit. Heady
bouquet. Generous finish. As good as
any Chardonnay we've tasted in recent
memory. Ready to drink now. (Weekend
Wine, 02/03)
($28). Full-bodied and beautiful, this
Chardonnay offers bold tropical fruit
and waves of honey and butterscotch. Balanced
acidity keeps it from being over the top.
Long luscious finish. Drink now and over
the next two or three years. (Party Planning,
02/01)
($27). Lush, enchanting bouquet includes
jasmine and lemon curd and fresh orchard
fruit. Primarily Chardonnay, this wine is
rich and creamy, with ripe apple and apricot
flavors laced with caramel and toasty oak.
Ready to drink now. (Italian Connection

with a mild vanilla note on the short
finish. Nothing special. Ready to drink

($9). Good fruit, emphasizing pear and
peach, a touch of hazelnut, and an appealing
chalk note. Medium bodied. Refreshing.
Drink now. (Party Planning, 02/01)

Delicate melon, lime zest, juicy pear
and mineral notes mingle nicely. Fresh
finish. Ready to drink now. (Italian
Connection, 10/03)

Pretty peach and melon flavors are balanced
with sweet cream and toasty oak. Moderate
finish. Ready to drink now. (Italian
Connection 12/05)

A great alternative for everyday Chardonnay,
with refreshing, focused lemon lime character
balanced with ripe pear and apple. Finishes
with another burst of citrus and a mineral
touch. Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine
