- golem - 08-31-2006 I am searching out the least expensive Chards with relatively pronouned butter and oak. So far, the best and cheapest (8-9 dollars) has been Forest Glen. Anyone ever tried it? Opinions? MOST IMPORTANT: Any other suggestions???????? - Innkeeper - 08-31-2006 Hi Golem, and welcome to the Wine Board. Forest Glen Chard is what I recommend to people who want a wine that tastes like a tree. Very appropriate name. If you want butter too, you might try La Crema's. - Kcwhippet - 08-31-2006 If you like oak in a Chard, try Toasted Head and J. Lohr Riverstone. Both are loaded - and cheap. - golem - 09-01-2006 Thanks for the advice. I will take any advice you can give. Anyone else with ideas on good 'everyday' buttery chards? - Bucko - 09-01-2006 Sorry, but if I hear buttery or oaky, I run the other way! - wondersofwine - 09-07-2006 Bucko did review a Solaris Chardonnay (Monterey County) that might fit your criteria in flavors and price. - Glass_A_Day - 09-08-2006 Columbia Crest Grand Estates is sort of along those lines. It may help you start a step down program. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/wink.gif[/img] |
