2021 David Finlayson Chardonnay...$19.99
South African Chardonnay
A lily of the valley perfume opens to present ripe fruit flavours of cantaloupe melon, lemon zest, tangerine, and a touch of dried papaya. The palate has a gentle fruit character, so easy-drinking, with attractive notes of white peach, yellow cherry, and chamomile.
Rated 96/100 Decanter Magazine
There are some distinct similarities to the flavors found in cooler Burgundian sites – perhaps most similar to a fine Meursault. " - Winemaker


2021 El Enemigo Chardonnay...$24.99
Chardonnay from Argentina
A hint of flint and gunpowder with waxed lemon, oyster shell, mango and salted green apples. Quite a textured, saline expression of chardonnay with tangy flavors and a mineral drive. Full-bodied and reductive with phenolic support. Savory, saline and mouthwatering finish. Love the austerity here. Drink or hold.
Rated 97/100 James Suckling


2022 Domaine des Nugues Beaujolais Villages BLANC....$24.99 
A rare 100% Chardonnay from Beaujolais
White Beaujolais Blanc is a bit of a rarity as only 2% of Beaujolais production is White. We do not see too many but they can be delicious wines when you get a good one. We found a great one! It is crisp and fresh with flavors of pears, melons, apricots. It is unoaked showing off the minerality and ripe fruits and a touch of nuttiness. It pairs well with goat cheese, fish, and even desserts with fresh fruit.

2023 Terlan Alto Adige Chardonnay Tradition....$21.99
Chardonnay from Italy
Fresh and open-knit, with flavors of Golden Delicious, persimmon and elderflower, plus a touch of almond skin, all layered with well-cut acidity. Spiced finish. Drink now. 10,000 cases made, 457 cases imported.
Rated 89/100 The Wine Spectator


2021 Te Mata Estate Chardonnay Hawkes Bay...$22.99
Chardonnnay from New Zealand (more known for their Sauvignon Blancs)
Aromas of white nectarines and white peaches, alongside notes of lychee, ripe citrus, creamy nougat and delicate spice. The ripe and dry mid-palate is full and rich, with just a touch of ripe pear and ‘marmalade on toast’. This plushness and concentration in Estate Chardonnay rolls to a whisper finish that’s clean, saline, fresh and fine-boned.

2021 Tan Fruit Chardonnay Cuvee Tan Fruit...$39.99
Oregon Chardonnay (more well know for Pinot Noir)
The 2021 Chardonnay Cuvée Tan Fruit comes from Dijon vines in the Maresh Vineyard, planted on a south-facing slope in 1991, plus a number of other sources around Willamette Valley. Bottled a few months earlier than the other Tan Fruit Chardonnays, its savory aromas explode from the glass: a core of peachy fruit is streaked with touches of candle smoke, matchstick, pie crust and floral tones. Medium-bodied, seamless and satiny, it flows effortlessly through the mouth with both depth of flavor and freshness. It has a pleasing touch of grip to anchor the long finish and feels like it has more to give as it unwinds in bottle over the next several years. Around 1,000 cases were made.
Rated 97/100 The Wine Advocate
