The key to a great house Chardonnay is versatility. It’s gotta go with everything, pizza included. That’s why Clos Julien is often the house pour at the Restaurant, it’s got concentration to match richer foods yet with enough cut to work well with foods more delicate. And, it’s just flat-out delicious on its own, a great aperitif. The 2016 is a product of cool-climate vineyards from Santa Barbara County, just one ridge away from the Pacific. This is the best source for Chardonnay that marries the richness and fruit that many people love with a bracing acidity and mineral freshness that makes the wine so good with food.
Clos Julien is just delicious a Chardonnay loaded with crisp green apple and pear fruit balanced by a firm, mineral acidity that leaves a long finish and speaks entirely to its cool climate Santa Barbara County vineyard site.
The price is silly.

Great with most pastas, pizza or a nice piece of red meat on the grill.
92 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 90 Points, James Suckling
The winery could never expected their Tuscan Vermentino would become as integral as it has – even 25 years later, it’s still a key piece of the puzzle for Campo Maccione. It’s an unassuming wine with great viscosity and bright, savory flavors that way overdelivers for the price. James Suckling agreed, as did Wine Enthusiast. Suckling gave it a 90 and deemed it “an interesting take on Tuscan Vermentino.” Wine Enthusiast took it up a few notches, attaching a coveted ‘Best Buy’ designate to the wine along with a 92-point review for the wine “with a sophisticated restraint.”
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
Trust me, this is a fantastic Menetou-Salon. It’s one of those quintessential bottlings from the tiny region that perfectly exemplifies the early sweet and stone fruit flavors that you get backed by some racy acidty and an absolutely to die for mineral streak. This one comes from the coveted Kimmeridgian limestone terroir and vines that are all at least 40 years in age. That gives this so much energy, concentration and lift – it’s a treat!
93 Points, Decanter
Of course, the Trefethens’ Chardonnay history is well documented. It dates back to the Judgement of Paris and the 1979 Wine World Olympics hosted by the French publication Gault & Millau, where their Chardonnay finished first overall. That pursuit of excellence is still just as strong as ever, as evidenced by the family’s most recent Chardonnay bottling. It’s a 93-point beauty that absolutely dazzles, especially at its incredibly modest price tag.
