This tasty Chardonnay offers simple but flavorful notes of tart green apple, lemon, and spicy vanilla. An easy-sipping wine, it’s also good with food, thanks to subtle oak treatment. Try it with fish tacos, fish and chips, tuna or shrimp salad. A good deal this week at Scolari’s, normally $15.99, it’s sale-priced at $10.99.
Santa Barbara Wine Co. 2008 Pinot Noir SBC County
This was my favorite of the two wines from this brand. Tasty and well- balanced, it offers tangy cherry, strawberry, and plum flavors with nuances of toasty oak. It’s quite tasty and easy sipping on its own. It’s also a good choice for dinner, whether it’s steak, lamb chops, poultry, ahi, or salmon. It retails at $17.99 at Scolari’s but this week it’s just $14.99.
