    Major discount alert on this Double Gold Medal winner. The Sonoma Highway Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is discounted over 60% for the next day.

    INSIDER DEAL! $42 Chardonnay for less than $15 a bottle

    We've got a pretty unique one today. This wine was originally created in good faith for a retailer who wanted a top of the line Chardonnay. The winery (Highway 12) pulled out all the stops putting this wine together, sourcing the best juice they could find from the Sonoma Coast. When the customer backed out at the last minute, the winery was left hanging. And that's where we come in…

    Intended to be sold at $42 a bottle, this limited production wine is 100% barrel fermented and undergoes malolactic fermentation. The result is a rich and creamy wine with just a bit of butter that still has lots of fruit. Wonderfully balanced and with no residual sugar, this is the real deal.

    Today's Insider Deal gets you 4 bottles of the Sonoma Highway Sonoma Coast Chardonnay for just $58.99. That's a DISCOUNT of over $27 a bottle!

    As always, shipping is just $5. Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many 4-packs you buy. Keep on reading for our full review.

    This 4-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, LA, MA, MD, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, WA and WI. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)

    This is a limited time, winery direct offer facilitated by our friends at Wine Country Connect. Sale ends Wednesday 12/22/2021 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com to checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order. Once there you can also adjust the quantity of 4-packs in your order by using the "Click To Update Cart" link at the top right of the screen.

    Sonoma Highway Sonoma Coast Chardonnay

    From the winery:

    Tropical notes, with bright citrus acidity, dried pineapple, apples and soft oak nuances. 100% barrel fermented with 100% malolactic fermentation makes this wine a well-balanced Chardonnay that will develop with rich lushness over the coming year. This wine straddles the line between oaky and buttery Chardonnay, with a touch of minerality and a long finish. Limited production.

    Produced & Bottled by Sonoma Highway
    13.25% Alcohol

    Sonoma Highway Sonoma Coast Chardonnay Back Label

    The Sonoma Highway Sonoma Coast Chardonnay spends 7 months in 50% new French oak. 1,100 cases were produced and the wine won Double Gold at the 2020 Sonoma County Harvest Fair.

    The wine opens with pleasing aromas of bright citrus, cedar and just a touch of tropical fruit.

    Taking a sip reveals a smooth and easy drinking Chardonnay with enough layers to keep it interesting. Featuring apple and tropical fruit flavors in the mouth, the wine is nicely balanced and quite pleasing. Since it is barrel fermented and undergoes malolactic, it gets bit of the creamy mouthfeel but it has just a touch of butter. We appreciated the restraint.

    The wine ends dry, a touch creamy and quite long.

    Taste: 9 (91-93 points) Cost: 5
    OVERALL RATING: 8.0

    Here's what people are saying about our previous Insider Deals:

    "I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!"

    "This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon. And $5 shipping for four bottles? You've outdone yourself!"

    "I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you"

    "The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn't purchase more."

    "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!"

    "Great deals for delicious wines!"

    "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 $5 or $10 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??!!"

    "My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!)​ Thanks for what you do and providing this service!​"

    "Jon - you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!"

    "I am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!"

    "thanks for the deal...this wine is spectacular for $12.50/bottle. I am used to buying big, bold, young cabs or old vine zins and paying considerably more multiples of this price."

    "Hi Jon, just had to let you know that I love this wine!!!! Thanks for doing what you do."

    "I have purchased many times over the last several months and loved the wines!"

    "Seriously amazing deal!!! I love a bold red, and Reverse Wine Snob delivered!!! Perfect for a rainy night!!"
