Trader Joes, $4.99

Aaron:  This was crisper than expected for a chardonnay with a very light nose.  The lemony citrus paired with melon on the palate was refreshing and enjoyable, making this great to pair with light pastas.  Overall I felt this was clean with an appropriate touch of oak at the end.  Excellently balanced and very robust for a white.  92 points

Teri: Pick this bottle up the next time you are in Trader Joes! Bottled just a few miles from one of France’s highly acclaimed growing regions, this Chardonnay has all the flavor and style you want for an unbelievable price. With a smooth and slightly buttery flavor of melon with a crisp finish, this one is sure to be a winner during many occasions. It is clean, refreshing, and delightful. 92 points
