Rivefort de France 1998 Chardonnay

PICK OF THE WEEK:

Rivefort de France 1998 Chardonnay, Vin de Pays d`Oc ($6) - Here`s a wonderful deal on a summer sipping wine that is clean and fresh, with a fine, plump lick of melony fruitiness. Take it out in the backyard and try it with a cold roast chicken breast or a grilled sausage and mustard sandwich.
