Oak Grove Steals the Show
Part 2 of 2
2007 Oak Grove Reserve Chardonnay
Oak Grove believes that the best wines are made in the vineyard. Since 1999 their winemaking staff has taken great pride in searching out the finest grapes from California’s cool appellations.
Oak Grove is a line of California Reserve wines, made with grapes grown in the Monterey, Arroyo Seco and Paso Robles appellations. Produced in a rich, fruit forward style, Oak Grove consistently over delivers on quality.
We tried four and liked them all, but this one (the 2007 Oak Grove Reserve Pinot Grigio) won our hearts. If you agree with us that the overpriced Santa M. sets the standard for mediocrity, try this one for a fraction of the price. Delightful!
Here are the final two, both delightful, The Chardonnay was fresh and not over-oaked while The Sauvignon Blanc had wonderful citrus hints and a touch of grass, typical of this varietal.

Winemaker’s Notes
A consistent award-winner, the Oak Grove Reserve Chardonnay shines with tropical fruit flavors, followed by a smooth, creamy finish with hints of toasty vanilla.
Food & Wine Pairings
Notes of vanilla and toasty oak make this Chardonnay an ideal complement to any rich seafood dish, or a succulent baked chicken with olives and garlic.
