WineScores' Review

delicious, fleshy, golden.
Under the umbrella of the Wagner Family of Wines (Caymus et al), Sea Sun is a unapologetic golden-hued Chardonnay for Californian Chardonnay lovers, its made by winemaker Charlie Wagner from grapes grown in Monterey, Solano and San Luis Obispo,
Browned butter and saffron, meringue and charred lemons, pineapple and hazelnut aromas lead to a wonderfully woven palate with a creamy weight and balanced acidity. It is smooth, fresh and delicious.
Pair: buttery sauces, roast chicken, almond crusted corn chowder, corn bread, corn-on-the-cob...


 
Recommended Pairings
Seafood/Fish, White Meat Chicken/Pork, Cheese - Soft/Creamy, Creamy Dishes

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.

We do not share your email address with anyone. Your email address will be used for the WineDiva newsletter You can opt out of receiving the newsletter anytime.
