Matanzas Creek Winery-Chardonnay-Sonoma Valley-California-2005-$21.99-A crisp nose of
citrus fruit, golden color. A nice, smooth, good acidity, drinking wine with lemon oil, orange zest, and
hazelnut with just the right amount of oak. I have reviewed the 2006 also, this was a better vintage,
not by much but enough that you would notice. RP-90 CR-4-4.5 Good with seafood,
chicken and salads.
Chateau Beauchene-Cotes Du Rhone-Grande Reserve-Grenache-Syrah-Rhone-France-2005-
$13.99-Nose of dark, spicy fruit. Ruby red color. A mix of earth, spice, and dark cherries. Wines
from Cotes Du Rhone are a good value, hard to find in French wine. RP-84 CR-3.5 Good
with chicken, pasta, ribs.
