Apple, melon, medium-light bodied. Crisp without much complexity to the finish, but good enough value.

No new oak means this 100% Chardonnay is fresh and zesty with pineapple and yellow apple flavors. They are accompanied by a well balanced acidity and off-dry sweetness. Paired nicely with crispy salmon and wasabi ginger bok choy rice. ($9) [8/17/16]

No new oak, partial barrel fermentation. Aged sur lie. Still shows good fruit while be acid-balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Another bargain.

bright apples and cream, neither buttery nor oaky. Great food wine! Paired nicely with chicken lasagne and Greek salad.

I would call it old world in style for sure. Reserved oak allowing the fruit and minerality to take center stage

Solid, solid chard for the money. Not creamy or buttery, like a macon-village with a little less acid. This would be a great house white.

Clean and crisp edges. Something akin to a Macon.
