Today's recommended wine
Bridlewood , 2007 Monterey County Chardonnay, $15
This is a crisp-dry, tropical Chardonnay that sees no oak. Most of the fruit went through the secondary malolactic fermentation to smooth out the acidity. It has a faint complement of Viognier and other white wines in blended in. It's a food-friendly Chard, with just a smidge of sweetness. You dry-drinkers, don't worry. It's still dry. The fruit has lovely nectarines, citrus and walnuts to reel you in. Pour it with chicken or seafood dishes, or pork. Bridlewood is located in Santa Barbara County.
