Buying advice

When choosing a Napa Valley white wine, consider the Chardonnay style - oaked vs. unoaked - and your budget. For value, Beringer offers solid quality; for icon status, Rombauer or Chateau Montelena. If you prefer lighter whites, Grgich Hills Fumé Blanc or Duckhorn Sauvignon Blanc are excellent. Check vintage ratings and buy from reputable retailers or directly from the winery.
