Emerson Vineyards, Chardonnay, 2007
We've come to really enjoy wines from Emerson Vineyards. They make really nice affordable wines. No, this isn't Beaux Freres or Ken Wright; but then, that's not what they're trying for. Instead, they offer wines that are perfect for a nice and ... |

Louis Latour, Grand Ardeche, Chardonnay, 2006
Here's another wine I had recently that was enjoyable considering the cost. Like most people, I drink more red than white; and generally, I'll pick another varietal over Chardonnay (not that I dislike it). This one was notable for being well balanced ... |

Frank Family Vineyards, Chardonnay, 2006
So this was a California Chardonnay to compare with one from Oregon (see earlier review). Again, this was the same vintage (2006) and the same price point (about $32). And I was surprised to find that this one was not that super-oak, super-butter Cali ... |

Carabella, 'Dijon 76 Clone', Chardonnay, 2006
I have to admit upfront that we don't drink all that much white wine. Of course we drink a lot more wine that the average, so we likely drink more white wine that most as well. And frankly, Denise rarely likes drinking white wine. Sometimes, but not ... |

Chateau St Michelle, Chardonnay, 2006
Chateau Ste Michelle is a volume producer from Washington. They make all the usual suspects, including this Chardonnay. We drank this along side the Emerson Pinot Gris (see earlier review). And while you might think that a (generally heavier) Chardonnay ... |

Cuvaison, Chardonnay, 2006
We had my aunt and uncle over, and they like a good Chardonnay. However, and despite the volume of wine I drink, I really don't drink all that much white wine, let alone Chardonnay. So this wine was recommended by a guy at Zupan's. And it turned out ... |

Louis Latour, Montagny, Premier Cru La Grande Roche, 2005
Honestly, I'm more used to drinking the lighter whites like Pinot Gris -- if white at all. So, it's hard for me to judge as well as others with a Chardonnay from Burgundy. I found this to be a little buttery (but not overly), and crisp. The flavors ... |

Charles Shaw, Chardonnay, 2005
Smell: Fresh orange blossom, floral. Taste: Tropical--citrus and melon. Light vanilla. Like an erotic parrot. Finish: Lemon--tart. Watery--light on the tongue. Cost: (yes, the notorious "2 buck chuck") Rating: (this could be a lot worse ... |
