We’re officially into the new year, so back to work, exercise, and budgeting. January is not my favorite month. It’s after the holidays, it’s cold and full of resolutions. Resolution has a few meanings per Merriam-Webster. It can mean “the act of determining” such as a when someone makes a New Year’s Resolution. It can also mean “the point in a literary work at which the chief dramatic complication is worked out”. The resolution to my resolution has been worked out – I’m not making a resolution and saving myself from a “chief dramatic complication”. I want to talk about something more exciting anyway. I want to talk about wine. Shocking huh. I tried the 2016 Old Cannery Row Monterey County Chardonnay over the holidays. This wine is from the Wagner Family who also make Conundrum wines. I caught a slight musty smell to it, but that smell didn’t reflect in the overall taste. I tasted notes of apricot and apple. It was a medium-bodied, oaky Chardonnay which is what I enjoy. I would recommend this wine if you like an oaky Chardonnay. It went well with a chicken dish as well as cheese. You could drink it on its own as well. You can find it at Total Wines for $19.99 per bottle.
I just discovered that my absolute favorite wine, Old Cannery Row, has been discontinued at Total Wines. Do you know where else I can find it? Have they stopped making it?
Hi Jacqueline! I still find it on Total Wines website and in their local Dallas, Texas area stores. However, in a search online, I don’t see it available through other sellers. Try having it shipped to you via Total Wines if you’re not finding it in the local market. I have also reached out to Wagner Family wines to see if they can provide other avenues to purchase it. I’ll keep you posted!
