Move over Napa, See ya later Sonoma.... Hello California's Central Coast-Monterey.
I'd bet the house that you'll adore this delicious Monterey Chardonnay. It's not your typical buttery chard, but instead has a pang of acidity you would normally find in a sauvignon blanc.
With a gorgeous light wheat color and a bountiful aroma of all the fruit I love to eat, pears..pineapples..citruses.. and a touch of vanilla to cut down the acid - I'm getting thirsty writing this! Pair this beauty with chicken or fish (eww) or vegetarian dishes.

I first experienced J.Lohr's Riverstone Chardonnay 2009 while at happy hour with Jason's co-workers. It's perfectly priced at liquor stores (currently on sale at Joe Canal's in Princeton and Woodbridge for $9.99/bottle -if you are a bottleclub member) and even www.wine.com stocks this gem for about $15.00.
J.Lohr's Riverstone 2009 is my go-to chardonnay, you can find it on many restaurant wine lists. A 1/2 bottle (typically 2.5 glasses**) at Legal Seafood's Test Kitchen gets me through airport-traffic delays during business trips out of Logan International Airport.
Run.. don't walk to the nearest liquor store and snag yourself a bottle.
**why spend $8.25 on 1 glass of wine when I can buy a 1/2 bottle for $16.00 and get 2.5 glasses?! Always looking for a deal!
