Living in Napa has afforded me the opportunity to taste some great wines...my favorite chardonnay is from Clos Pegase Winery, it's called Mitsuko's Chardonnay - any vintage has been excellant, their reds are fantastic too. The Hommage is without compare. Do let it breathe & rest though. A bit pricey but well worth it for special occassions. I love them all and any red from Ponzi in Washington state are beyond compare. Any varietal from Silverado in Napa are incredible esp. if you can find a Cab from the mid 90's. 1995 are killler! Price isn't an issue for me when wine is being purchased. There are oustanding ones out there for under $20. Not fond of Two buck "Chuck" - Charles Shaw. Good one though if you are really tight for cash I hear. Those 'Yellow Tail' wines from Australia are tastey for the $7.00 range. Am Digging the Beringer Founders Reserves, too. Nice people, always good wines.

If you find some wines tend to give you a stuffy nose, then be sure to airate them first, it really helps volutize the esters.
