Alma Rosa Chardonnay Santa Barbara County 2007 “Exhibiting the bright energy of exuberant youth, this wine is like a swift arrow let loose from the bow… right on target with the tropical fruit aromatics characteristic of Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County. Here we have a citrus-apple acidity and a just-barely noticeable oak presence. This is the firm, angular and crisp side of the Chardonnay spectrum, which is especially complementary with food to balance its mouth-watering freshness.” - Alma Rosa Winery and Vineyards

In fact, our wine department, managed by wine and beer connoisseur Andrei, is a popular draw to the store as many loyal customers, both young and old, stop by to check out his latest find and then go shopping for something to complement that wine for dinner.
