  Terroirist Sample Roundup #3: SRP: $13 (per liter). Comes in a Tetra Pak. Poured into a bottle to avoid bias. An extremely ripe chardonnay, with super sweet melon, mango, and orange blossom on the nose. On the palate, sadly, the wine is a big disappointment – as it’s oily, alcoholic, and too sweet.

  (13%) Made from certified organic grapes from Mendocino this one is smooth, clean and simple with pear undertones and lemon notes that lead to an oaky finish that appears to be missing the vanilla creamy component I was expecting. This one is not for lovers of a buttery Chard. This one comes in a tetra pack (environmentally friendly as it uses ½ the energy of a glass bottle) and nets out at about $10 for a typical bottle. While there are better available at that price it is ready made for camping…
