SAVE OVER $XX A BOTTLE on Bulk Buy Rated, 91-93 point, premium, high-end Chardonnay. Red Car Wine Company returns with this aged to perfection beauty, the Red Car Sonoma Coast Chardonnay.
Chardonnay (and all white wine lovers) today is your day.
If you like your wine with a little age on them (or you just want to experience how beautifully some white wines can age), today we’ve got one aged to perfection from a top of the line, spare no expense winery, Red Car:
Vineyards on the edge of the Pacific. Red Car is a small farming and winemaking operation based in Sebastopol and rooted in some of the most unique AVAs and vineyards in all of California. In 2005 we planted our Estate Vineyard in Fort Ross-Seaview and for over two decades have dedicated our lives to producing site-specific, balanced wines of exceptional quality, bright fruit, complex aromatics, and moderate alcohol. Together, our team farms and produces Pinot Noir, Syrah, Chardonnay, and Old Vine Cabernet from 6 unique vineyards all within 10 miles of the Pacific Ocean. A combined passion for hospitality, a taste for hard work, and a steadfast dedication to the craft of winemaking define who we are and the wines we make.
A blend of their 3 Chardonnay vineyards, including the acclaimed Zephyr Farms and Mohrhardt Ridge, the 2017 Red Car Sonoma Coast Chardonnay has harmonized beautifully with a bit of bottle age. It spent 10 months in French oak (25% new, 75% neutral) and just 324 cases were produced.
The wine has an SRP of $35 with the few retailers out there that have it typically selling it even higher. We give it a 9 Taste Rating (91-93 points) and a Bulk Buy Overall Rating thanks to today’s incredible deal price…
For the next day you can get 4 bottles of the 2017 Red Car Sonoma Coast Chardonnay for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s a discount of XX% saving you over $XX a bottle!

(These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery and are not representative of all our deals. Every deal can have different, sometimes more, sometimes less, states available.)
Summer 2025 Shipping Options – We have both a Summer Shipping option (with heat protection) and a Summer Hold option. Our priority over the summer is to get your wine to you safely should you choose to have it shipped! Here are the details on both options:
Summer Ship (+$8) – Includes heat protection (styrofoam), freeze packs (when necessary), an upgrade to UPS 2-day shipping to minimize transit time when your order ships, and packages will only ship Monday through Wednesday to avoid them sitting somewhere hot over a weekend. Because we’re only shipping at the beginning of the week, these orders may take a bit more time to ship after the conclusion of the offer (likely 5-12 days rather than our normal 5-10). The 4th of July holiday may also add an extra day.
These orders have an additional cost of $8 built into the product price for this Heat Protection Package. It is NOT possible (nor would it be advisable!) to purchase a deal with summer shipping without also including the Heat Protection Package.
Summer Hold (No Extra Charge) – Buy your wine now and have your shipment held (at no extra charge) for delivery in October! While we take every precaution we can with our Summer Shipping protocol, we also know that many of you travel or live in very hot areas where you don’t want to risk it (or you simply detest styrofoam).
Please note this is not a “ship-at-will” program, all your summer hold orders will ship (in cardboard/no styrofoam) at a date of our choosing in mid-October once temperatures have cooled down. Please read this post for important info to determine if the Summer Hold program is right for you. Whatever shipping location option you choose at checkout (ship to home or ship to UPS Store) will apply in October.
Both Summer Ship and Summer Hold orders will incur the flat $7.99 shipping charge per order, no matter how many packs you buy. If this is your first time ordering please check out the shipping section of our FAQ for more information. For your convenience you also have the option to select a UPS Store to ship to at checkout (with no extra fees) so you don’t have to be home to sign!

From the winery:
Our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay offers a unique opportunity to color outside the lines. We do this via blending select clones and blocks from each of our three Chardonnay vineyards, in pursuance of harmony and balance in the glass. With two of our plantings in the remote and dramatic Fort Ross Sea-View appellation, and one just outside the tiny village of Freestone, we are afforded the opportunity to farm and produce Chardonnay from some of the most unique coastal locations in California. 2017 proved to be a stellar growing year, we experienced a long, slow and cool growing season, where Chardonnay was able to ripen to full maturity while maintaining beautiful natural chemistry. Each lot is fermented in French Oak barrels, and aged on lees until bottling. The result is a wine that reflects its unique terroir with racy acidity, rich texture and a strong mineral presence.

And now on to our review:
The 2017 Red Car Sonoma Coast Chardonnay begins with wonderful floral notes plus some lime, apple, lemon cream and even a bit of minerality. It’s a deep, very attractive and fresh aroma and I love it.
Tasting the wine reveals it to still be quite fresh but you can also tell that a bit of bottle age has just harmonized the whole wine. It’s really drinking brilliantly right now. Very smooth and with a bit of a creamy mouthfeel, it features great balance and great acidity with similar flavors to the nose plus added touches of spice and a hint of butterscotch in the mouth.
It ends dry, long and delicious. This is a wine to stock up on!
Cheers,
Jon

BULK BUY
Here’s what people are saying about our Insider Deals:
“I’ve bought a ridiculous amount of wine from your deals in the last year…I just want to say that I really appreciate what you guys have done with RWS. I discovered your site looking up Costco wine reviews and have been hooked on your insider deals ever since. I’ve been referring every friend I know.”
“I have been buying your Insider Deals for about 3 years now and we have enjoyed every one of them. They are wines that we never would have found on our own… ”
“The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn’t purchase more.”
“Received my shipment today and just cracked open my first tasting. It blew me away…I guess I have another top pick to my list. Can’t wait for my next glass…”
“I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)”
“the wine is, in a single word, superb! as have been all other wines offered and purchased since I first learnt about you…”
“love them all so far…Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all.”
“Also your prices are pretty amazing.”
“Hey Jon! You do great work. I’ve bought a bunch of the Insider Deals and probably 80% of the wine I drink comes from them. Great values!”
“Jon, this is a wonderful wine all around. You have become our go-to person for wonderful wines and wine values. Please keep up the excellent job that you’re doing! Regards, a very satisfied customer.”
“Just love your site and the great deals on unique small production vino. You do an outstanding job!”
“Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous.”
“Hi Jon, Best thing I ever did is buy wine thru you…not been disappointed with any of them! Thank you SO MUCH!”
“Would you happen to be offering this one again anytime soon? I regret not buying more. This was exceptional!”
“I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you”
“I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!”
“This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon…You’ve outdone yourself!”
“Thanks Jon. We already drank all 6 of the first order so we were ecstatic to see you offering it again. My wife and I both love it.”
“You are a man after my own heart. I have always looked for the best and least expensive wine and you just made it easier. Cheers!”
“Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about – bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!”
“Have had nothing but great bottles since I started ordering your recommendations. Thanks so much!”
“We’ve gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more.”
“The shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)….yikes!”
“Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn’t I buy a case??!!”

“Jon – you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!”

“AMAZING!! Damn, I should have bought a CASE!!”
“WOW. Just… wow. Absolutely delicious. If I knew it was going to be this good, I would have bought a case… or two. This was dead-center in the sweet spot of what I like. Thank you!!”
“I have loved all my RWS deals, can’t wait to get this one.”
“I know that you don’t need to have ‘customers’ email you every time they like a wine that you have suggested/rated, and I have enjoyed many of your recommendations. But this Tannat was spectacular! Wow! That was amazing!”
“I finally opened a bottle of this and it did not disappoint. Delicious!!!”
“Thanks for a great service! We’ve been loving your emails and wine deals!”
“This insider deal is a great wine!!! So glad I got it!!”
