Staff Pick Notes

This vivacious blend of chardonnay and sauvignon blanc is a fantastic white for any time of year. From the months you spend under layers of blankets by the overly crown-molded fireplaces of our dreams, to the times when even the thinnest layer of linen is too much. Crisp white fruit. White peaches, with the thinnest lip of pink, to lychee and lilies. In the warmer months pair with some widely under appreciated rom com you can't get anyone to watch with you. And in the brutal winter - pair with the warmest softest pajamas and lemony 2am salmon.

Some are fermented in barrel, others in stainless steel. Some...

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...
