Stival 2000 Chardonnay
- Best Buy
- $6
A brilliant, pale straw-yellow color is an indication of the freshness of this wine. Tropical aromas of mangos and bananas start with flavors of citrus and a sharp but not overpowering acidity finishing. A nonmalolactic, simple yet pleasant Chardonnay. Best Buy.

Stival 2004 Pinot Grigio
- Best Buy
- $7
There’s a copperish tinge to the color and although the nose is not intense, it does deliver clear notes of pear, pineapple, chamomile and chopped basil or mint. The lower alcohol helps it go down easily. Imported by Laird & Company.

Stival 2005 Pinot Grigio
- Best Buy
- $7
Dried herbs, grass and hay with some pear, apple skin and crushed stone sums up the nose. The mouth delivers less excitement; a sour note interrupts what would otherwise be a smoother ride. Imported by Laird & Company.

- $6
Mixed berries and aromas of green vegetables start off this blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Lightly spiced blueberry flavors interact with creamy light tannins, and a simple finish wraps up this clean Cabernet, that for $6 won’t offend anyone. Best Buy.

Stival 2010 Cabernet (Veneto Orientale)
- Best Buy

Here’s an easy and bright Cabernet that would wash down with spaghetti and meat sauce. Fruit tones and bitter almond characterize the nose and the mouthfeel is lean and fresh.
