C. Donatiello Winery-Chardonnay-Russian River Valley-California-2006-$13.33-A nose of spicy citrus, medium to dark golden color.   A full bodied white, lemon zest, hazelnuts, good acidity and mouth feel, almost past it’s peak but very good for the price.              WS-84              CR-4-4.5        Good with seafood, salads and chicken.

Dominari-Zinfandel-Napa Valley-California-2007-$29.99-A nose of dark fruit, some spice, dark ruby in color.  Blackberries, blueberries, some vanilla, a good Zin, give it some time to decant, still young.  Toured in March this winery whose production and tasting facility is called Barrel Stop, really worth checking out if visiting Napa.           NR           CR-4            Good with steak, chicken, pasta.
