Dear Oenophile,

There's so much action in the BPWine warehouse at times, things coming and going sometimes get overlooked for a bit. Imagine my surprise when I was climbing around the pallet racks looking for Bordeaux, to find a stack of 2006 Ridge Monte Bello Chardonnay. I had completely forgotten that a few months back, we tasted this and just flipped for it. It sort of went onto the backburner and now here it was again. And since then Wine Spectator gave it ANOTHER 95 point score (it got 95 last year, too)! Well deserved, I might add! Anyway, our loss is your gain....this classic California chardonnay is still priced at the original price, just $45! Please let us know what we can do for you! ----Stefan

2006 RIDGE Monte Bello Chardonnay $44.95! WS95 (only 10 cases, ship it for $9!) IN STOCK

WS95: "There’s wonderful perfumed, floral aromas of honeysuckle, lavender, ripe pear and apple in this pure, rich and silky white, which unfolds to reveal layers of fruit and light spicy, toasty oak nuances. Ends with a long, persistent finish that’s engagingly complex. Drink now through 2016."
