    What We’re Drinking – Ridge Estate Chardonnay 2015

    This is a delightfully complex and delicious wine. The nose shows apples, pears, and honeysuckle. It's tighter on the palate and could clearly continue to get more round and open over 2-3 years. On the palate it leads with green apples, firm pear, with lemon zest on the mid-palate. The

    This very reasonably priced American Whiskey is made in Kansas from locally sourced corn, rye, wheat and barley, and aged for 18 months in American oak. It is a golden hue, with a touch of red. Aromas of caramel, vanilla, and sweet tobacco leaf waft up from the glass. The

    The color is a very pale coral. There are aromas of strawberries and candied cherries.  It is more tart on the palate, and a little disjointed. Light flavors of strawberry and maraschino cherries are there, and so is lime. Drink with hot dogs on a hot day. Recommended. 86 points.

    Its color is gold, and its characteristics are magical. With daily consumption -- a teaspoon is enough -- it can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and even breast cancer. Nothing supernatural, though: this is simply extra virgin olive oil, which, along with wine, is one of the most

    The color is pale, barely a straw yellow. Vigonier and Semillon shine through on the nose, redolent with honeysuckle and guava. Sauvignon Blanc makes a showing with a bit of cut grass in the back. On the palate, tropical fruits, guava and pineapple, join crisp pear and hints of white

    Color is a very pretty very pale gold. The nose is rich with classic Viognier tropical fruit. Meyer Lemon, guava, and fried plantains come out on the palate. The balance between citrus and tropics will make it welcome on many tables. Drink with baked chicken with peaches. Recommended. 88 points.

    The color is a very pale straw. On the nose, lightly grilled pineapple and cut grass waft up. The palate is redolent with fresh peach, backed by grilled pineapple. Hints of sweet Key Lime linger on the finish. This is a fresh and fruity bottle of wine. Drink with lemon

    The color is very light, just the palest straw. Gooseberry drives the nose, with cut grass a distant second. On the palate, gooseberry leads as well. White grapefruit and citrus blossoms come through on the mid-palate, and grapefruit zest lingers. This is a bright, zippy, clean glass of wine. Pair
