This California Chardonnay comes from Buena Vista, founded in 1857 by the bold and eccentric “Count of Buena Vista,” Agoston Haraszthy. Long before Napa or Sonoma made their name, Buena Vista was pioneering fine winemaking in California. Now under the guidance of Jean-Charles Boisset, the winery successfully marries tradition and innovation. These wines are great value, and it would be smashing with a roast chicken of a Sunday or a mid-week creamy pasta dish.
