Crisp Chardonnay Kit
The white that wins over people who 'don't really drink whites.'
≈ $95–$110price range
A 6-gallon Chardonnay kit that lands closer to bright, citrusy, and unoaked than it does to butter-bomb. About 30 bottles per batch and ready to drink within 8–10 weeks of bottling.
Todd's pick for summer porch wine. Russ won't admit it, but a chilled glass of this on a July afternoon has quietly converted him at least twice.
