Bargains at BevMo

Attended the chardonnay only tasting at my Bevmo last Saturday, Feb 20, 2010= one taste of each of four chards. Gnarly Head and Louis Martini were both terrible. The best one was a french one @ 2 bottles for $20--I felt fortunate to taste it, but wasn't so great that I felt like ponying up the 20 scoots, and it is obviously not memorable enough that I remember its name. The fourth chard, a 2007 Michel Pozzan Special reserve was quite disapointing, too. However, one Michael Poszzan product that I can recommend is on Pozzan's other label, the Annabella 2007 or 2008 pinot noir "Carneros"Quite delicious, balanced with lush berry flavors. Either vintage is very delish and worth their $12 price tag. Cheers!

Tried a bottle of Montevina Chardonnay and it was not worth the price. Don't buy. It is on the 5 cent special. The Michael Pozzan Chardonnay is drinkable at $7.50/bottle. Wilfred Wong gives it an 89 and I found him to be all over the wall on his ratings. I think he is a paid shill for BevMo.

While actively pursuing the perfect chardonnay deal, I often go to my fave stanby chardonnay which is the 2007 Chalone Chardonnay-(Montery) for $8.99 at BevMo...It's not on the 5cent sale, to the best of my knowlege. BTW, it's nice to see some chat going on here after what seemed like a long dry spell.

Let us know what you learn from the Chardonnay tasting on Saturday. My wine tasting group is blind tasting Chardonnay at our next meeting in March. By the way, anyone try the Tapiz Chardonnay@ $10.99?

@Honest Jim--I've tried the Challis Lane and agree with you--it's about a C+. And if ratethe the Main Street is a B-, well then, that would qualify as a pass for me. I', really looking for a wow.chard bargain. My best bet may be the "all white" wine tasting scheduled this coming Saturday at my local Bevmo. Appreciate your input.

Went to Bev Mo last night and bought Challis Lane Chardonnay at $7.99 a bottle plus the second bottle at $.05. For the price this is very drinkable wine. I bought it last time and it was bargain. I would give this a C+.

I also bought Main Street Chardonnay at $11.99 a bottle plus the second bottle at $.05 and it was also very drinkable. I would give this a
B-.

I also bought Montevina Chard, Michael Pozzan Char and Sauv Blanc and will report back on them.

I'm looking for chardonnay bargain(s) during this 5-cent sale period. Has anyone found anything good they would like to recommend? I really enjoyed the 2007 & 2008 Wildhurst Chards @ 2 for $11 during the fall 2009 5 cent sale--but they are out of stock and seemingly long gone and never to return. Cheers
