Goes well with garam masala salmon and pencil asparagus. Light oak, nice fruit. Well balanced.

Probably favorite chard from J. Light fruit, not oaky. Goes so well with spicy Indian food

Girlfriend out of town so that means I drink chard (she's not a fan)

Two 2013 reserve wines from her work (gallo)

Both are nice. The j strata is very citrusy but also has some butter and oak. The talbott more fruit than the j (less citrusy and more stone fruit). The j has probably done better with age.

My favorite affordable Chardonnay from one of my favorite vineyards. The bitter really shines with spicy food and strawberries.

Oaky buttery typical California chard. Some apples and melon on the nose. Higher alcohol than expected. Still good though.
