  April 21, 2024 - 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…

  March 16, 2024 - 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.

  November 29, 2023 - 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.
