westport-winery-shorebird-chardonnay-nv-labelThe Roberts family’s relationship with acclaimed winemaker John Bookwalter continues to pay dividends, which includes an introduction to Conner-Lee Vineyard — one of Washington’s top sites for Chardonnay. Handled in a fruit-forward style, the nose comes with hints of fresh pineapple, sliced Gala apple and pear. There’s a tropical entry to the palate with flavors of mango, passionfruit and Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. Suggested pairings include pan-fried oysters, and a portion of the proceeds are donated to the Grays Harbor Audubon Society.
