Aloha Champagne Fridays (this is the inaugural occasion). This is superb for around $20. The label lets your know this is dry all the way. 100% Chardonnay. Yellow apples and light caramel notes. Friends who take my reviews seriously (should proceed with caution) might prefer the Grüner Brut (Szigeti from Austria) from a little while back at this price point. But this is darn good. — 8 years ago

The Wagner family struck gold with this beautiful, buttery Chardonnay. Light acidity welcomed with an explosion of ripe papaya, toasted banana and lemon grass. Very interesting take on a delightful Chardonnay. Fresh, exotic, and rich. — 8 years ago
