Happy Hour Wine Tasting Featuring Chardonnay Thursday, June 5th 6pm and all the Domestic Chardonnay in the store on SALE!!
"Now wines are wonders; great wines are magical; and winemakers are mad. Like horse fanciers, they are always trying to improve the breed." - William E. Massee
We are constantly trying to improve what we do here at the Wine Bar, and we have some great new menu items for the private dining on the cave on Thursday, Friday, Saturday nights. This week we have all three nights available in the wine cave. Contact Toni@winewatch.com to check out this week’s menu options for a private dining experience at Wine Watch.
We will take up to 16 people but will accept as few as 6 for a curated dinner by Chef Toni. We must know in advance what food items you want so you will have to coordinate the menu with Toni ahead of time but she can put together any of your favorites from past Wine Bar menus or whatever you want if she has enough notice. The best thing about this table is the view of the wine, we have the largest selection of vintage wine in South Florida and everything is available at a retail price!! You may want to bring a sweater it is 64 degrees in the wine cave.
Our summer Happy Hours continue Thursday nights with the world’s most popular white wines – Chardonnay. Many of these wines on the table came from the cellar of Chardonnay Ray and we now have an incredible collection of vintage chardonnay on the shelves here at Wine Watch.
We will raise a glass and give a special thanks tonight to one of greatest collectors of Chardonnay that we have ever known, a great chardonnay aficionado. Most of the collection was purchased here during one of the hundreds of supplier tastings that Ray attended with me.
He only bought the best Chardonnay and loved them with 10+ years of age, these wines went right into our storage facility and are now just coming out to reach the shelves here at Wine Watch. Don’t worry Ray is fine, he and Deb are in Seattle and has plenty of Chardonnay in his cellar there…
The fee for this tasting is $75 + tax for reservations call 954-523-9463 or e-mail andy@winewatch.com.

(96 Points) The 2020 Chardonnay Wayfarer Vineyard has pretty scents of baked apples, beeswax, roasted almonds and toast. The medium-bodied palate has a satiny texture and layered, savory flavors balanced by refreshing acidity, and it finishes long and flavorful. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
2019 Antica Chardonnay A26 Vineyard Napa
Price: $49.75 20% OFF Price: $39.80 Quantity in Stock: 65
Aromas of fresh-picked orchard apples and toasty oak emanate from the glass, while on the palate, the wine offers a supple mix of apples, stone fruit and spice. Pleasingly intense and complex, with a lively backbone of acidity leading to a lingering, luxurious finish.
2019 Raymond Small Lot Collection Barrel Fermented Chardonnay Napa Valley
Price: $49.00 20% off Price: $39.00 Quantity in Stock: 48
From the glass waft enchanting notes of honeysuckle, crisp green apple, and aromatic cardamom, creating a delicate olfactory dance. Luscious layers of white peach flavors elegantly weave together with subtle hints of toasted brioche and velvety vanilla, imparting a delightful creaminess to the mid-palate. The culmination is a gracefully balanced and invigorating finale that lingers on the senses with poise. The grapes for this Napa Valley Chardonnay come from three blocks within a single vineyard in Jameson Canyon. The blend is a split of Clone 76, Clone 95, and Clone 4. Winds flow through Jameson Canyon, carrying in the cooling influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean and providing a long, cool growing season that enhances the intensity of the Chardonnay flavors. With partial malolactic fermentation, the wine was 100% barrel fermented in 56% new French oak barrels and sur lie aged for 9 months before being bottled.

(93 Points) “Entirely barrel fermented, this layered, complex white is structured and complex. It offers tones of lemon peel, pear and Gravenstein apple, with a tangerine accent lending lift. Balanced and graceful, it winds its way to a finish of nutmeg and clove. — Virginie Boone”
2016 Three Sticks 'Origin' Durell Vineyard Chardonnay Sonoma Valley

2015 Hanzell Chardonnay Estate Sonoma
Price: $60.00 Your Price: $52.80 Quantity in Stock: 63
(93 Points) The 2015 Chardonnay is a little reticent to begin, slowing unfurling to reveal lemon tart, apple pie and nectarine notions with hints of honeyed toast, cashews and orange blossoms. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and elegantly styled with many citrus and stone fruit layers accented by savory suggestions and a satiny texture, finishing long and mineral laced. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
2013 Gary Farrell Olivet Lane Chardonnay Russian River Valley
Price: $47.00 Sale Price: $39.00 Quantity in Stock: 27
(94 Points) Almond and anise open what evolves into a concentrated expression of a stellar vineyard site in a great vintage in good winemaking hands. Honey and baked peach initially fool the palate into anticipating that this wine might head into full-blown hedonism, but subtle layers of lemon, grapefruit and pear keep it crisp, fresh and ultimately complex. Creamy, it retains plenty of acidity for balance. (VB) Review Date: 02/2016 Wine Enthusiast
2013 Gary Farrell Rochioli-Allen Vineyard Chardonnay Russian River Valley
Price: $65.00 Sale Price: $49.00 Quantity in Stock: 27
(94 Points) Marshmallow and fig compote provide the sultry goods in this wine from two exceptional vineyard sites within the appellation's Middle Reach neighborhood. Borderline salty, with a scent of matchstick, it evolves in the glass into a complex, complete wine, elements of pear pie and lemon zest rising to the fore. — Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast-Issue 12-1-2016
