Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay 2021

Monica drink 3 glasses before I had 2! Very smooth and buttery. Went great with shrimp scampi pasta. — 2 months ago

Bodega Catena Zapata

Catena Alta Historic Rows Chardonnay 2020

Deep and clear butterscotch gold. Big bosomy nose of baked quince and true butterscotch. Medium full palate confirms the nose adding lemon rind, birch, and a hint of white pepper. Bracing acidity from entry to moderate finish supports it all. Ripe, New World fruit pairs with a cool Burgundian structure to make a great pair for a wide range of fare, from seafood to cream sauces to roasted fowl or pork. Take to Thanksgiving dinner or hold through 2026. — 6 months ago

Reserve Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

@Sipping Fine Wine you can be a really douche. Maybe some people are into the 15 dollar wines. But you don't have to be a jerk about it. I'd rather pay 10 to 15 dollars for a very drinkable wine than pay 40 for a crap wine that has a nice label. — 7 months ago

La Hermana Chardonnay 2021

Delectable Wine
9.5

The 2021 Chardonnay La Hermana is striking. Bright, focused and wonderfully nuanced, the Hermana captures all the personality of Santa Maria, namely that mix of vibrant acids and tropically-leaning flavors. There is an exoticism here that is just compelling. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2023)
