This is an oaked white wine from the Napa Valley in California. It has flavors of citrus, as well as ripe pear and peach, plus a touch of brown spice.
I had mine chilled, as an aperitif. This wine is one of my favorites!

Burlwood Extra Dry Sparking White Wine
This is an extra dry sparkling wine from California. It was naturally fermented. I enjoyed mine on New Year's Eve. I made a champagne cocktail with it: Angostura Bitters, sugar, a twist of lemon peel and a maraschino cherry. Delightful!

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.
Southern Point Chardonnay
This is a California oaked white wine, produced by Southern Point Vineyards. It has flavors of green apple and citrus fruits. I consider it to be full-bodied. I had mine chilled, as an aperitif. However, it would be delightful with seafood or chicken dishes, or cheeses and other appetizers.
