Riverwalk: J Lohr can be found for $10 and it is certainly buttery/oakey. I know I will probably get some feedback here about what they have added to their wine but end of the day I've yet to find one in that price range that beats the taste for butterey/oakey.... more

mrsduston: I am looking for a nice buttery/oakey chardonnay that is priced well enough to drink often(not more than $10 a bottle). I'd also like to know of some nice ones that are worth splurging on as well. So many of the chards are made in stainless these da... more
