Calera Central Coast Chardonnay, California
More character and yum-factor than most CA chards at twice the price. Exuberant floral and tropical fruit notes steal the spotlight while a touch of spicy oakiness bats cleanup on the finish. A knock-your-socks-off pairing with aged cheeses like Cypress Grove Midnight Moon, an aged goat milk Gouda cheese that’s redolent of toffee and browned butter flavors. Look for it in fine cheese shops and Whole Foods Markets nationwide.
