Happy Hour Wine: Santa Barbara Landing Chardonnay

Happy Hour Wine: Santa Barbara Landing Chardonnay

 

My happy hour wine selection for writing this blog is Santa Barbara Landing Chardonnay, 2013 from Sonoma, CA. This is an inexpensive white wine available at Trader Joe's stores.

I'm not a wine drinker, but I do enjoy a happy hour now and again.

I often find surprisingly good wines at Trader Joes at inexpensive prices.  I'll look for this one you suggest.

Roy,

 I love TJ's but their wines are not favorably priced here, nor do they have a great selection compared to our local stores, though I know in SB, they have one of my favorite wines at a lower price by $5 which is a lot when I buy it for 14.99 and Ron and Alexandra Seigel get it for 9.95.  Alas, nothing is perfect.

Roy, I am always amazed how detail your photography is with all those nice flowers you post. Inexpensive wine is a real bargain these days.

Roy I find it interesting that a Sonoma Winery would use a Santa Barbara name could you share with us who the Real Winery is...generally small print on the bottom of the label, like Ron and Alexandra Seigel  have not seen it and just wondering...Endre

I wish we had a Trader Joe's here. There is one in Nashville but it is almost an hour away.

Our local Trader Joe's store does not sell wine. We have to go to the stores in Virginia.

I make it a habit to revisit some old blogs and reblogs on a regular basis. I delete some material and might even find some good ideas for new posts.
