• 2010 Dreaming Tree Chardonnay Central Coast, CA. $14. One of the things that makes the Central Coast a great spot for producing a wine like The Dreaming Tree Chardonnay is the fog. The dense layer that blows in through the mountains from the sea acts like a sort of natural climate control, allowing for the warm days and cool nights that give the Chard its distinct delicious flavor. Tasting Notes: The fruit jumps out of the glass and reminds you of roasted pear or baked apple pie. Big fruit and brown spices that are backed by a distinct Central Coast citrus note. The entry coats your mouth with these great flavors. Easy to enjoy, this wine will bring the coastal wine adventure right to your home. This wine is a project of Dave Matthews and Steve Reeder
