http://sogood.tv Heather Johnston, a popular food vlogger, demonstrates how to make a warm lobster roll while on vacation on the North Fork of Long Island. (The North Fork is a great American wine region like northern California.) Heather pairs the menu of lobster roll, summer corn, and farm fresh salad with a local Chardonnay.Related VideosTasting Sauvignon Blanc, Merlots from North Fork Wine Region: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v SmoE4ENca4cShrimp cocktail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v 0cD-_OQKHPITasting Wine Basics http://www.youtube.com/watch?v WEWdFbb1p2wUPDATED 10/1/07THANKS TO YOUTUBE FOR THE FEATURE AND THANKS TO ALL YOU VIEWERS FOR THE COMMENTS AND FAVORITES!

Chardonnay is America's favorite wine, but finding an inexpensive and good one is a challenge. WSJ's Dorothy Gaiter and John Brecher taste some of the best and give their recommendations.

In todays episode Gary looks at another viewer request, California Chardonnay's. Make sure to watch for a big announcement at the end of todays episode!
This Talomas Chardonnay (83%) / Viognier (17%) came with a musky buttery nose mixed with very faint gasoline and the usual tropical fruit and pineapple suggesting the wine has gone through malolactic fermentation. The wine was surprisingly fresh, refreshing and crisp unlike many California chardonnays which are OTT (Over the top): Smokey, oaky, full body, with full blown malolatic buttery and off dry fruit -- I call it being suffocated by Dolly Parton's bosoms...Although this Char is not too complex as expected, I believe the Viognier has contributed the wine with much vibrancy and spiciness. The lifted but balanced acidity also means the wine is versatile with a large variety of food. The wine was reduced in BC from $21 to $7.99 in the summer of 2006 after Mondalvi was bought by Constellation brand in 2004. It's still available at private stores such as Central City of Surrey in BC at $12. What a mark up (!) but still fair in price I guess. Drink now like the way I quaffed it down after filming! (Rating 87-89) points by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.
