These evenings give our culinary team the opportunity to experiment, be a little more playful, and craft pairings that perfectly highlight the wines being featured. It’s a chance to taste something truly unique while enjoying a guided journey through each glass. If you haven’t joined us yet for one of these events, it’s the perfect time. They’re convivial, educational, and, most of all, delicious.
GALLOWAY’S WINE SHOP
Maldonado “Farmworker” Chardonnay 2019, Napa Valley, California – $29
Pure, gleaming, and beautifully balanced, this Chardonnay captures both freshness and finesse. Fermented in a mix of French oak and stainless steel, it shows bright, clean flavors touched with just the right kiss of oak. Expect enticing notes of ripe melon, citrus, green apple, and flinty minerality. It’s an easy “go-to” choice—whether you’re enjoying just a glass on its own or pairing it with your favorite meal.
The story behind the bottle is just as inspiring: crafted by a Hispanic father-and-son team who worked for decades in Napa vineyards before opening their own Calistoga estate. Their hands-on expertise shines through in every sip.
Troy shares: “I love this Chardonnay because it’s honest, refreshing, and food-friendly. It shows Napa Valley richness but with restraint—perfect for guests who want flavor without heaviness.”
