JT Cellars-Chardonnay-Central Coast-California-2007-$8.98-Crisp citrus nose, good yellow color.

Smooth, lemon, vanilla, not over oaked, very balanced for a Chard at this price range.  A very good

summer wine.  NR   CR-4  Good with pasta, chicken, salads.

Lafond Vineyards-SRH-Pinot Noir-Sta. Rita Hills-California-2006-$17.33-Earthy nose of light

fruit, medium color, if you can see your fingers thru the wine in your glass then that’s what a Pinot

Noir should look like.  Smooth, raspberry, earthy, a very good Pinot for this price.  It’s very difficult

to find a drinkable Pinot under $25-30 these days.    NR   CR-4   Good with chicken, pasta.
