  Subtle vanilla, that opened up later into the dinner, and grapefruit. A medium weight body more on the zesty, rather than buttery side. Citrus on the finish, a nice food wine, but not buttery enough for scallops…

  This an excellent Chardonnay, subdued but stellar in all aspects. Stone fruit shows on the nose. Cream and mild butter on the palate followed by balanced acid and a smooth finish.

  Retail $45. Responsible bottle. Under cork. I had a great online event with the folks of Rhys but I still have not procured the video of the Zoom. I didn't take notes (since I thought I would have access to the video), but the folks at Rhys know what they are doing. With a focus on the planet, they produce fantastic wines. Case in point. Light to quite light in color in the glass with yellow delicious apple, a hint of vanilla, and just a soupçon (thank you Miles) of oak. On the palate, the oak is difficult, if not impossible to perceive. Instead, there is plenty of fruit (tart green apple), a captivating zinginess, and a lingering finish. A solid Chard, but not "typical" by any means. Fantastic.
