Our picks
Concannon "Selected Vineyards" Chardonnay 2007 (Central Coast; $12). A steal from one of California’s oldest wineries ― fresh and lively, with green apple, lime, and more layers of white peach and tropical flavors than this price usually delivers.
Rodney Strong Chardonnay 2007 (Sonoma County; $15). Ripe golden apple, pear, pineapple, and creamy lemon curd are balanced with bright acidity, with a touch of butterscotch underneath.
Landmark "Overlook" Chardonnay 2006 (California; $27). A perfect balance of rich texture and bright fruit ― crisp apple and lemon zest, with hints of toasted coconut.
