Rex-Goliath Chardonnay

This is a California, oaked white wine. A classic Chardonnay, it has flavors of ripe pineapple and citrus fruits. I had mine chilled, as an aperitif, but it would be wonderful with seafood, chicken, or pasta dishes such as fettucine alfredo.

2015 Burlwood Cellars Chardonnay

This is a California oaked white wine, purchased at Aldi. It is medium-bodied and semi-dry, with luscious flavors of  ripe peach and pineapple. I enjoyed mine chilled, as an aperitif, but it would be excellent with seafood or roast chicken.
