The white wine of Burgundy, Chardonnay has more made its mark on California wines as well. Americans drink more Chardonnay than all other white wine combined.
Brucher Wines, 2007 Chardonnay
-- $17.00
-- A VALUE WINE. A lot of wine for the money! Look for classic chardonnay fruit, without overbearing oak. A versatile wine for a wide range of foods.
Nevada City Winery, 2007 Sonata
-- $12.99
-- "Sonata" is a refreshing blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. I mistakenly call it "Synergy" instead of "Sonata", as the blend is greater than the sum of its parts!
Peay Vineyards, 2007 Estate Chardonnay
-- $49.00
-- Hints of coconut, Lemon Head candy, and apples-n-pears all loitering around a chalk-laden, slate blackboard.
Scherrer, 2004 Chardonnay Russian River Valley
-- $39.00
-- This vineyard is just across from Kistler and Dehlinger, and produces long-lived Chardonnays that delight the taste buds for many years to come..
