HAIL HAIL THE CHARDONNAY IS HERE

My new Radio Gig on KLAA AM 830 is taking me on a weekly basis to the OC, the 
Orange Curtin the 714, not that I’m complaining there are many great restaurants 
in that area, just this past Sunday Night I stopped at the Catch Restaurant 
right across from Angels Stadium and had a glass of Estancia Chardonnay, the 
bartender said it was her best value on the wine by the glass program. Though 
for a review a full bottle was in order, the price point is right on spot at $11 a 
bottle at most area grocery stores, I opened the ice cold bottle let it breathe for a 
good hour and poured it into 
a chilled glass. The breathing 
worked, I was very impressed 
with the straw color and the 
slight fruitiness of my first 
and last taste. I was surprised with the spicy overtone --that told me that this 
wine was best paired with a roasted chicken, grilled shrimp or even a fish dinner. 

Estancia is located in Monterey County, seems more and better wines are coming 
from that region. The Estancia Chardonnay was an easy drinking Chardonnay 
that was equally easy on the wallet (I like that). While the wine is not quite 
perfect, I do thing that Estancia has brought us a really great value with this 
wine. So, if you are in Pasadena or the OC stock up on this wine if you can find 
it for less then $10 a bottle go for it !!! My new favorite chardonnay for the price.
