Barista Chardonnay 24

Price: $34.99

Barista Chardonnay 24. Chardonnay. No other white gives a maker so many options.

Peach and melon are typical, with a creamy edge where oak has been used. How it lands depends on the barrel: unoaked versions stay tight and citrusy, oaked ones pick up a creamy, nutty weight.

Most are made to drink now, though the better ones hold for a few years. Serve it cold but not frozen. Roast chicken, creamy pasta and grilled fish all work.
