Recommended – California Wine Finds: “This is our first of two exceptional Chardonnays for $10 or less. Grapes were sourced from four different counties... Ripe apple and tropical fruit aromas please your nose and the flavors follow smoothly with some citrus fruit and pear in the mix. No heavy oak to impair it's food-friendliness. Our wine panel was unanimous in their praise. VALUE!!” --Bill Weaver
