Merryvale Vineyards-Starmont-Chardonnay-Napa Valley-2007-$12.99-Will be trying more whites for both the summer season’s sack and because women love whites. Crisp nose of citrus, nice color not deep yellow, more a medium tint,  nice mouth feel,  rich not overly oaked. A awesome Chard that delivers at a $25-30 price, but fortunately is less than half that price, ready to drink now, probably with drink well for a few more years.  This is a wine you buy a case of before it sells out.        WS-88   CR-4-4.5        Great with fish, shellfish, chicken, cheeses, salad
