• 2008 Alma Rosa, Chardonnay, Santa Barbara County; $19.00: Winemaker Christian Roguenant Notes "With French Chablis as its role model, our 2008 Chardonnay continues in our traditional style of crisp clean fresh flavors true to the grape variety. Just a hint of malolactic and just a hint of oak add additional layers and depth. Pineapple and citrus peel are right there in the wine's aromatics, with lemony pear fruit on the palate, and a brisk cleansing minerality on the finish..." Get the 2nd bottle for $1.00

• 2010 D'Alfonso-Curran, Grenache Blanc, Santa Ynez; $21.75: The 2009 Grenache Blanc from D'Alfonso-Curran Wines in the Santa Ynez valley is lush, creamy and tart. It tastes like a juicy green apple and was very refreshing. It's a wine to consider when you want to go for something tasty and out of the ordinary.        
• 2010 Gundlach-Bundschu, Gewurztraminer, Estate, Sonoma Coast, 90 pts., Wine Enthusiast; $23.00: "A very nice example of a dry Gewurtz. Name an exotic spice, and you'll find it here, especially cinnamon. The fruit is all about oranges, pears and lychee, while acidity is brisk and fine. Will challenge home chef and sommelier pairing talent. Pork and stewed fruit come to mind". EDITOR'S CHOICE. -Steve Heimoff        
• 2009 Ridge Vineyards, Chardonnay, Santa Cruz Mountains, Estate, Parker, 95 pts.; $40.00:  "The 2009 Chardonnay Estate is an impeccable, classy wine layered with bright citrus, flowers and just a touch of sweetness from the oak. Crushed rocks and lime peel add complexity on the textured, long finish. In 2009 none of the blocks were designated for the Monte Bello bottling, all of the fruit went into the Estate. This is a stunningly pure wine from Ridge. I came back to the 2009 Estate after having tasted all of the reds and the wine showed beautifully. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2019."     
• 2009 Peter Michael, Chardonnay, Mon Plaisir, Sonoma, 94 pts., Parker; $85.00: "The 2009 Chardonnay Mon Plaisir (1,875 cases produced; 15.1% alcohol) offers exotic pineapple and mango fruit along with a medium to full-bodied style." (02/11) 93 points Wine Spectator: "This displays a rich, enticing mix of green fig, white peach, apple, melon and smoky oak flavors, leading to a full body. Intense and concentrated, this ends with a smoky, figlike aftertaste. Drink now through 2018."
• 2009 Peter Michael, Chardonnay, Ma Belle Fille, Knights Valley, Sonoma, 95 pts., Tanzer; $90.00: "...Like its siblings, it is made from the old Wente clone of Chardonnay that supposedly came from Louis Latour's holdings in Corton-Charlemagne. From the estate's highest elevation vineyard in Knight's Valley, it exhibits abundant minerality intertwined with notes of spring flowers, quince, white currants, peaches and underripe apricots. This beautiful, medium to full-bodied Chardonnay should drink well for 5-7 years."

An expressive, open bouquet leads to expressive fruit in this large-scaled, impeccable Corton-Charlemagne.

The oak is beautifully integrated. Anticipated maturity: 2016+."
• 2009 Domaine Joseph Drouhin, Batard-Montrachet, Grand Cru, 92 pts., Tanzer; $400.00: "Tasting a wine of this stature is always cause for emotion. The golden colour has bright reflections. After some aeration, the aromas reveal their rich intensity: grilled bread, almond, honey, exotic wood...What is striking is the structure of the wine, its "monumental" grandeur. There is even a touch of tannin that provides an added dimension. A voluptuous finale, seemingly without end, with precious notes of preserved and ripe fruit."
