Putting an APB on this one. If the Broken Dreams Chardonnay doesn't make fall back in love with life, not sure what else would be the elixir. Maybe an Aston Martin. Maybe.

Very crisp and citrus but not that "appley". Very Little oak but dry and clean middle. Has a flavor fresh in your mouth long after swallowing.

There's a lot of honey here. Delicious, not a lot of oak.

Totally stumbled on this dudes wine. Although I did text him like the bottle says and he hasn’t responded yet. That’s ok. The wine is really good.

Maybe it’s just the monkeys on the label but notes of banana pudding and lemon verbena. Lovely Cali Chardonnay.
