Alondra
Mendocino County, CA $30/$7.50
No oak gives this Mendocino County Chardonnay a light, lean profile. Overt aromatics of pear blossom with a tropical fruit interplay of mango, guava, and pineapple. The flavors follow through on the suave and stylish palate, with the silky fruit showing textural ripeness on the long, clean finish.

Sonoma Creek
Russian River Valley, CA $24/$6
Crisp grapefruit and apple flavors dance on the tongue balanced by a rich buttery toasted oak finish, which coats the mouth. An excellent combination of fruit and round silky barrel qualities gives this wine fabulous flavors and a long finish.

Diva’s Uncorked
Mendocino County, CA $32/$8
Opens with a solid aroma: apples, honey, citrus, and a bit of depth from fermenting some of the fruit in wood. You get the same as flavors in your mouth, in a wine that is more complete than big, well balanced, comfortable on the tongue and able to fill your tasting chamber with lengthy, warmly latent fruitiness.

Hendry Blocks 19 & 20
Napa Valley, CA. $43
A wine of great finesse and delicate fruit flavors of figs and pear, with French oak adding hints of nutmeg and clove. The mouthfeel is round and full, with a lingering lemon crème brulee finish. Only 800 cases were produced.

Mia’s Playground
Russian River Valley, CA $38
This white exudes aromas of jasmine, vanilla and gala apple, with light notes of rich caramel. It has a rich mouthfeel, full of flavors of lemon meringue, pineapple and white chocolate, with integrated French oak on the finish – a house favorite!

Neyers Vineyard
Napa Valley, CA.$52
This Chardonnay has a nice smoky nose of hazelnuts, honeyed citrus & a touch of tropical fruits, in a medium to full-bodied wine. It’s impressive for its richness derived from a mix of ripe grapes & oak with a slight crème brulee bent. This mid-volume hazelnut & apple flavors hold up well into the wine’s long finish. 90 points Robert Parker.
