An excellent value Chardonnay with full flavors of peach, red apple with hints of melon and lemon zest. Well balanced creaminess and acidity with oaky hints of vanilla and butter. While the wine shows gentle traits of oak aging, they are subtle enough to appeal to those who prefer stainless chardonnays. Check out this video from fourth generation winemaker John Concannon.

Charity Case Sauvignon Blanc is more lush and full-bodied than many Sauv. Blancs. A lovely round mouth-feel of creamy ripe pineapple, apricot, citrus and melon with hints of vanilla and soft oak. Looking for an alternative the grapefruity, grassy New Zealand style? Charity Case is a delicious choice, at an excellent price, that also supports Napa county charities serving children and families.

A very enjoyable Sangiovese Rosé. Deep translucent ruby color with flavors of ripe strawberry, rhubarb with a hint of cola and spice. Just yummy on a warm summer evening. Big enough to pair with grilled chicken or salmon. This offering by Pope Valley Winery just goes to show how versatile and interesting American Sangiovese can be.

This medium-bodied Pinot Noir by J Vineyards has a gentle elegance about it. Well balanced and layered flavors of cherry, raspberry, strawberry, cola with a touch of caramel and cinnamon spice meld together with delicate oak and soft tannins to create a beautiful Pinot that is easy on the palate. Pair this Pinot with grilled chicken or better yet, a grilled cedar-plank salmon.

We sent our wine pooch, Bonny the Cavalier, out in search of a new “Go-To” Chardonnay and she came back with a beauty. The Loyal Companion Chardonnay from Cru Vin Dogs in Sonoma County. At $11, this playful pup will keep you smiling and fetching more. Well integrated flavors of pear, honeycomb, white peach, spice and citrus with a creamy vanilla finish. Serve at your next outdoor event or with lighter summer fare. Proceeds go to benefit local animal shelters and other dog-related charities. Bonny approves!
