After producing world acclaimed Burgundian style wines for many decades, I.C. Balderas offers these two elegant wines.  The wines are produced from grapes grown in the Monterey County appellation.

2008 CHARDONNAY

2009 PINOT NOIR

This release from Sam Balderas shows his meticulous attention to detail and strict adherence to traditional winemaking techniques.

FOOD PAIRINGS: Crab cakes, Olives, Oysters, Stuffed Clams, Smoked Salmon, Chicken, Shrimp or Pork with cream sauce. In general, avoid tomato based dishes - the sharp acidity of the tomato doesn't go well with the buttery flavors in a Chardonnay
