Buena Vista Chardonnay 2015 "North Coast"

Crystalline, pale golden hue with lovely aromas of buttery tropical fruit melange with lemon lime, sweet stone fruit and mango with gentle pie spice.

Palate--First impression is lively acidity with a burst of tropical fruity goodness with a perfect integration of structure and flavor. The finish is a bit fleeting but a buttery finish with gentle Chinese five spice.

This is a lovely Chard and is absolutely perfect right now and will last another 3 years at least. I bought this on a special buy for $10--an absolute value of which I will buy more so raise a glass!

BTW pairing with baked cod almondine.

Barrel Heist Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Lighter hued cranberry color with aromas of sweet red berries and dried red fruit with a touch of spice. Palate--Fruit forward, easy to quaff with soft tannins, and a simple pleasant all around red. Just don't confuse this with a "real" cabernet Sauvignon. At $7 (Trader Joe's) let's get real... It's better than two buck chuck!

Emma Reichart Gewürztraminer 2020

*Label is for their Riesling not their Gewurztraminer Pale straw hue with loads of sweet aromas consisting of vanilla, citrus, tropical fruit with a lime splash. Palate--mouth watering acid, mouth filling tropical fruit, lime base, with sweet-tart freshness This $10 Gewürztraminer literally "Spicy Traminer" is one of my favorite German grapes and under appreciated much in the way German Riesling is. If you can get past the name, it's a lovely wine that pairs with Asian foods, spicy foods, or all by itself so raise a glass!
