If you are looking for an everyday Chardonnay at a decent price, which is consistent in quality year after year, you might want to try the Hess Select Monterey Chardonnay. The 2022 vintage got the stamp of approval from the Chardonnay Queen, as we enjoyed a bottle the other night with a cheesy seafood casserole.

The wine has an aromatic nose, suggesting fresh pear scents coupled with a generous dose of lemony citrus. The flavors are apple, pear and a touch of pineapple flowing toward a clean finish. The alcohol content is 13.5%. and Norm's score is 88.

This one is great as a "back porch sipper", or paired with most seafood, especially chilled shellfish salads.

score: 88
price : $10 - $14
