(Yes, this is a repeat of a special I ran a few weeks ago, but the wine was so popular, and the price was so good that I am offering a few more cases)

For me, finding balance in a bottle of California Chardonnay can be a challenge, many are so oakey and buttery that the subtle nuances of the Chardonnay grape are lost, ne’er to be heard from again. In Solaire, we find one of the final projects of the late Robert Mondavi, an exploration into the Central Coast of California, namely the Santa Lucia Highlands. Lush and tropical on the palate, Solaire is aged in 100% French Oak, lending a soft, toasty oak flavor to the finish.

OZV is a massively fruity Lodi Zin that begs for the simple pleasures of Southern Food. Whether you are having BBQ, burgers or something with a little spice to it, this voluptuous red is a perfect pair. Jammy raspberry, milk chocolate and mocha flavors meld with soft tannins to create a supple finish.
