A lot of the white wines I’ve purchased lately are from the mass produced labels such as Gallo and Turning Leaf. This should be interesting and the reviews should be useful to many people because you can buy this stuff anywhere…

Since I paid twice as much for this one, I have my fingers crossed that it will be a ton better than the last Gallo Chardonnay I had…

I like the label on this Chard. It has an old west look about it and the paper feels thick…

I got some new Riedel white wine glasses for Christmas and I’m christening them on this Sutter Home Chard, for better or worse. It’s a good thing I got the glasses too; I had broken every one of my white wine glasses…

Nice golden color, looks tasty in the glass…

Like straw in color, it has herbal notes in the aroma that I can’t quite place…

Smells almost pungently of melons and honey. Starts very smooth, almost silky and has some mild oak flavor…
