Mai Otsuka Lauridsen, member of the Club’s Wine & Beverage Committee, found that these three wines stood out during the Premium California Wine Tasting in October.
If you purchase at least three bottles of any combination of her recommended trio, you’ll receive a 10 percent discount.
The wines are also available through the Club’s online Wine Shop.
“Au Bon Climat’s 2022 Chardonnay is well balanced. Old World-style, it is aged in neutral French oak and showcases classic citrus and stone fruit traits. The oak and malolactic fermentation adds a creaminess and restrained complexity.”

“Also from Au Bon Climat is the 2022 Pinot Noir. A touch different from typical California Pinot Noir, this Burgundian-style wine focuses on balance and aging quality. It’s medium to deep ruby in the glass, with ripe berry, cherry, vegetal and spice notes. Open early and enjoy the evolving flavor throughout the evening.”

“Flowers Vineyards & Winery’s 2022 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay truly delivers, embodying elegance through delicate aromas of white flowers, peach, coastal minerality and light salinity. Beautiful on the nose, with a long finish on the palate, this is a wine that lets you enjoy the expression of Sonoma Coast terroir. Flowers’ wines are among the most popular in The Cellar, and this is a great addition.”
