Whether you are going to the mountains or the lake this winter, it’s nice to have wine options. Below are some light and white wines to share with friends: 

Three Finger Jack Chardonnay 

This full-bodied Chardonnay offers suave aromas nuanced with delicate white summer flowers, toasted almonds, and a hint of a whiskey barrel. Flavors of ripe fig, mango, lightly roasted marshmallow, and sliced pear segue to a creamy butterscotch finish balanced by natural acidity.

Z. Alexander Brown Chardonnay 

Fresh apples, pear flesh, squeezed lemon, and spring blossoms show on the nose of this bottling by Zac Brown. There is a strong sizzle of acidity, where zesty flavors of key lime arise.

Chloe Pinot Grigio 

On the palate, this Pinot Grigio displays flavors of juicy white peach, soft melon, crisp apple and floral honeysuckle with a subtle undertone of Meyer lemon.
