McManis Family Vineyards, River Junction (California) Chardonnay 2012

($10): It’s hard to find a drinkable $10 Chardonnay these days.  So when I ran across one that was not only drinkable, but good, I was thrilled.  There’s no subtlety here, just rich ripe fruit and, most importantly, balance.  Easy to sip before a meal, this straightforward Chardonnay is an especially good choice when serving a crowd.
