2022 North Coast Wine Club Unoaked Chardonnay Ohio White Wine, USA, Ohio, Wine Review

This is really a nice wine. This retails for $18 and that is a great value. Light golden in color with a swirl of green hues, clear and bright. The nose is nice with red apples, slight herbal note and nice minerality. Light to medium bodied but with a slight viscosity in the glass. On the palate, this is easy and refreshing. Flavors of apples with underlying minerality. Tasty. Very nice on its own, this will make great summer sipping on the deck with light foods. Drink over the next few years.

As the name says, this is an unoaked Chardonnay from the Finger Lakes region of New York. This is a cooler climate region and the resulting wine will be a great alternative for those oakaphobes or people just looking for something a bit different. Light golden in color, some green hues, clear and bright. The nose is clean with slight grapefruits, some minerality and a bit of "wet rocks". Medium bodied. On the palate, crisp and clean with a bit of grapefruit and minerality. Nice finish. This works better with food. This would be excellent with lobster (no buttery oak). Drink over th

The label lists this as 12% abv. Silvery/green/gold in color, clear and bright. The nose is clean with some lemony notes. Light bodied. On the palate, the label calls this semi-dry but there isn't really a lot of sweetness going on. It is refreshing with some lemon-lime qualities. Easy to drink. This is food friendly and would work well with fried foods or popcorn. A fun wine for sitting outside at a winery listening to live music. Drink now.

Ohio used to be one of the top winemaking spots in the US. While it no longer has the reputation it once had, there are some very good wines being made in Ohio. This is especially true for the whites and the dessert wines. Chardonnay, however, is not typically one of the more successful whites, but this is one of the best! Light golden/green in color. The nose is nice with melons, vanilla and slight spice. On the palate, this has a creamy texture. Light acidity. The melons and vanilla come thru along with some tropical fruit. Very refreshing and better if served cold to bring out m

One of the old guards of Oregon, this winery had gotten away from Chardonnay for a time, but in the last decade they revived it. This is 100% Chardonnay. Light golden in color, slight green hues, clear and bright. The nose is classic with lemon peel, nutmeg, and slight dust. Full bodied. Creamy texture (stirring of the lees?). Light tannins. On the palate, this has slightly crisp, tart acidity. Flavors of Meyer lemons with nice minerality. Long finish. This is a very good, middle of the road, Chardonnay that drinks wonderfully on its own and will work well with the usual foods; s

This is a canned bottle of sparkling wine. It seems to be some sort of Champagne blend that sells for $7 a 375ml can. It's easy to make fun of this wine, but I found it fine. It would probably be a bigger hit with millennial's and Gen-Z'ers than a bunch of crabby old men. Light golden in color. Not much of a nose to it. Slight minerality. On the palate, this is slightly sweet, slightly tart. Citrus. Some minerality. Easy to drink. Quick finish. There is a place for canned sparkling wines as they are easier to transport (and safer) and open.
