If you’re not a fan of buttery oaky Chardonnay from California, this is the wine you must try. The straightforward, highly polished, lightly golden Middle Ridge Santa Rita Hills Naked Chardonnay is reminiscent of the great chardonnays of Burgundy.

Right away you’ll notice the refreshing aromas of apple, melon and barely ripe white peach. Your first sip will be full of apple, mouthwatering acidity and a hint of young pear. Enjoy this wine year around and pair it with foods like fresh herb and Israeli couscous salad, brown butter and thyme pan fried trout or a roasted pork loin with chimichurri.
