White Wine by Trinchero from California. This Chardonnay displays the tropical flavors and great acidity typical of Trinchero's Los Alamos Vineyard in Santa Barbara County. There's a slight spice on the silky smooth finish. Many think that Chardonnays must go with cream sauce pastas and lighter dishes, but this Chardonnay can even be paired with dishes that have a touch of heat. Light Asian fare and seafood dishes with a hint of spice also make great accompaniments to this wine. Trinchero's chef pairs the 2006 Chardonnay with pan-seared diver scallops with shitake mushrooms and fresh basil.
