Staff Pick Notes

If you like the classic Napa style of full-bodied, rich Chardonnay, then this could be a wine for you. If autumn is your favorite season and a crisp, sunny day spent romping through dried leaves in the woods sounds ideal, then this wine is for you. If you enjoy the wafting scents of the carts offering buttered popcorn and fresh roasted nuts while walking through Central Park, then this wine is definitely for you. If you like roasted delicata squash or egg noodle pasta with a hint of truffle and Nantucket bay scallops (and maybe a nearby crackling fire) then this wine is MOST DEFINITELY for you. If none of the above applies, this wine is still top notch and you shouldn't leave without it.

It is a flexible, eager-to-please grape, responding well to just about anything a winemaker...
