Dirty Laundry Vineyard Not So Knotty Chardonnay 2013, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia Bc V.Q.A., Canada: This fresh, crisp BC white wine made from Chardonnay grapes and is unoaked, thus the reference to "Not so knotty" (wood). Reminds me more of fresh linens on a spring day than Dirty Laundry with aromas of lime and lemon zest. Pair with crossing off the last item on your to-do list.

Schola Sarmenti Negroamaro 2006, Nardò, Puglia D.O.C., Italy: This robust and smooth smoky Italian red wine is loaded with sweet chocolate and mocha notes form lavish oak aging. Fleshy black fruit with campfire smoke. Produced by Terrulenta, the 2006 vintage of Negroamaro Nardo is a blockbuster red wine. Pair with Mexican mole.
