Love the familiarity of this. I think Hyde clone but don’t know. Cloying. Viscous but not heavy or sticky. Really a nice value here at $30something.

So crisp and refreshing. Hints of citrus. Perfect for BINGO night.

Pretty good. I don't love the in your face Chardonnay as much as a subtle Burg. Will need to try this bottle after allowing for a little more age.
