Under $35 Chardonnay Surprise of the Day
 Byron Kosuge has been making wine for over 3 decades now. He honed his skills at various great wineries in California and France. While working in Carneros he befriended two guys who ran a vineyard management company. When they planted a small vineyard next to their work shop, Byron came up with the name “The Shop” and the rest (10 years later) is history. Byron has created a good following for his brand, and so have many of my customers. But his Chardonnay making goes back 30 years and has been his big passion, although he did not add this to his portfolio till 2008. The 2014 is truly amazing and a great wine for your Buck! |

Winemaker Notes: “2014 may turn out to be the best wine since the new millennium began. Don’t quote me on that, but I am very excited about the quality of all of my 2014 wines. Why am I so high on the 2014? They have an enviable combination of richness, purity, freshness and concentration–ripe without being heavy–that doesn’t happen very often. I find a mineral streak in the Chardonnay in its youth which is particularly appealing. Over the course of the summer, if it follows the pattern of my previous Chardonnays, it will put on weight and develop some mid-palate richness, but I like that it is a touch steely at the moment.”
