Monowai Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay 2024 $24.99 
Winemaker and owner Emma Lowe has created a bold, peach-and cashew-crammed style with refreshing acidity, ribbons of buttered toast dusted with cinnamon, and a finish that’s like a marathon being run in your mouth. Tropic-tastic and softly spiced, it’s a fantastic chardonnay from an awesome vintage. Pop it into the fridge for 45 minutes, pour into the good glasses, and enjoy with chicken and tarragon mayo sandwiches.
