This will guide you to being better at determine what you may like when ordering a bottle of wine.

How about that. Sun and the mid 50’s………………..in March…….in Portland. So what better to taste than what I’d call winter whites. Like Chardonnay. Like form Burgundy. Like wow. This was one of those tough ones where I had way too many terrific Chards to choose from. I hated to leave any of them out but then that’s my job. To filter and offer you only the best. The Chablis’? You decide. They’re both amazing values and stimulating beverages
