This Un-Oaked Chardonnay is bright with acid, with pineapple permeating throughout. A great Chardonnay for Un-Oaked Chardonnay lovers and can't beat the price. The bottle makes a great piece of decor in the kitchen when emptied!

Conundrum Red Blend
Even better than the 2009 vintage, the Conundrum Red Blend is a great segway for white wine drinkers into red wine. Less of the sweetness and more of a Rhone characteristic, and still attractive to first time red wine imbibing.
