Staff Pick Notes

I got to get a swirl after the tasting concluded and I must admit, I haven’t had a mouthful of anything recently that set off my imagination in this way. The first whiff felt as if a window was opened to gusts of aromas: hay, citrus, and warm bread. Then the palate danced with vibrant energy. Flavors of lemon curd, toasted almonds, and pineapple happily swirled in my mouth. Serve with tuna tartare or Brie de Meaux.

Chardonnay

From Champagne to Chablis, it's hard (not to mention unpleasant) to avoid this famous white variety. During a huge popularity surge beginning in the late 1980s, Chardonnay plantings have increased dramatically -- not only in California's wine country, with which the variety is nearly synonymous, but also in Burgundy (its original, Old World home) and just about everywhere else in the winemaking world. It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
