Fresh, unoaked, and delicious with a variety of savory foods, the 2010 Chinook Semillon was made with fruit from Carter Family and Desert Hills Vineyards. It is a wonderfully versatile wine that marries well with scallops, calamari, and snapper. It is the balance of body and acidity that allows the 2010 Chinook Sauvignon Blanc to pair well with goat cheeses. The bold citrus zest notes also work well with oysters. But perhaps the magical combination is with steamed clams. The 2010 Chinook Chardonnay is an old vine Chardonnay, with fruit from vineyards that Carter and Den Hoed planted in the 1970’s. It was aged in lightly toasted oak barrels and has a faint tropical note and vibrant apple flavor. It is the wine to serve with prawns, langoustines, and lobster, or just a bowl of Walla Walla onion soup.

2010 Fevre Chablis Champ Royaux
The 2010 vintage yielded a small crop in Chablis, due to a lack of juice in the grapes more than the size of the crop. The 2010 Domaine William Fevre ‘Champs Royaux’ is made from purchased fruit that is given the same handling and cellar treatment as their 1er and Grand Cru wines. It has green apple and mineral notes, a big citrus flavor, and a touch of melon in the finish. Fresh, zesty, and clean, this is perfect for halibut or oysters Rockefeller.
