Waugh Cellars 2004 Indindoli Vineyard Reserve Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
-
$40
Impressive for the enormous depth and range of the fruit, which is a blast of pineapple custard, kiwi, Key lime pie, and the ripest, sweetest white peach, all of it coated in fine, toasty oak. This is a big Chardonnay that calls for rich fare, like lobster.

Waugh Cellars 2008 Fazio Vineyard Riesling (Santa Barbara County)
-
$32
First thing to know about this Riesling is that it’s sweet. Not super-sweet, but definitely off-dry. With balancing acidity, it offers fresh, savory flavors of citrus fruits, pears, honeysuckle, butter, vanilla and minerals. A good evocation of a ripe California Riesling.
