The story: Lindquist Family Wines is the project of Bob Lindquist, famed winemaker of Qupe. He is famous for pioneering high quality, age-able Rhone blends in California.  

Why you'll love me: French oak imparts delicate toastiness to this medium-bodied take on Chardonnay. Aromas of crunchy green apple and pear are backed by a latent minerality -- think Burgundy meets Sonoma.
