The best of an oaked and unoaked Chardonnay in one bottle, today's deal is The Girls In The Vineyard Napa Valley Chardonnay.
It's another excellent offering from Art+Farm wines and their Girls In The Vineyard label. Today it's about the Chardonnay and this one is a fantastic example made from a combination of two Napa Valley vineyards.
The grapes from the first vineyard are unoaked and they show off the wonderful Chardonnay fruit. The grapes from the second vineyard are barrel fermented in older French oak and they bring the butter and wonderful texture.
Together it's a killer combo that we score at 92 Points but it almost never came to be as the winery never thought they'd make a 100% Chardonnay:
Confession time. We were not lovers of Chardonnay. Sure, sometimes we'd find a pleasant one, but they never seem to hold our interest for long. We were also never interested in making Chardonnay. Until, we tasted this fruit. We fell in love.
Why? Delicious, bright, fresh fruit flavors on the nose and palate. The perfect mouth coating texture and subtle French oak character that lingers long after you swallow. Fresh, rich and delicate all at once. What’s not to love?
And thanks to today's killer deal you won't pay anywhere near the SRP of $40...
For the next day you can get 4 bottles of the 2018 The Girls In The Vineyard Napa Valley Chardonnay for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That's a discount of XX%!

From the winery:
Tasting Notes: The nose reveals exactly what to expect on the palate- each contains a rich layer of movie theatre buttered popcorn and roasted pineapple. As the thirst quenching acid shows in the finish, additional flavors of guava and nutmeg build to round out a full palate experience.
Pairings: For a wonderful start to the day try eggs Benedict with Bayonne ham or classic Croque Madame. Not to be outdone, enjoy with fried softshell crab on corn maque choix, sharp cheddar mac 'n cheese, pumpkin risotto with fresh sage, or veal scaloppini.
Winemaking: A combination of Napa Valley vineyards- one tank fermented and one barrel fermented in older French oak in order to reach balance of both the Chardonnay fruit and texture.

Green apple and apple pie aromas start things out on the 2018 The Girls In The Vineyard Napa Valley Chardonnay, with a bit of butter, tropical fruit, vanilla cream and much more following. It's a very nice start.
This tastes quite nice! It's smooth and a bit creamy yet still has some vibrancy to it. Nicely balanced between the oaked and unoaked, it somehow manages to showcase the best characteristics of both. It features similar flavors to the nose with just a bit of butter.
It ends dry and crisp, with lots of tangy, oaky notes lingering on the long finish.

Here's what people are saying about our Insider Deals:
"Opened a bottle - incredible! "
"love them all so far...Glad we ran across you. Too bad we can not order them all. "
"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. "
"I opened up our first bottle last weekend and was blown away. "
"Wow!! Just got my shipment. It is absolutely tremendous. "

"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"

"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??!!"
"I really missed the boat by only getting four bottles of this offer last month. Should have bought least at 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 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!)"

"Wish I would have ordered more!! It was great. Looking back, I wish I didn’t open it at our annual pool party. It’s gone. **Sob**"

"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!!"
"My Insider Deal arrived just in time for my celebration tonight and it’s absolutely delicious! Cheers!"
