@Shay A this is good to know! I was leaning towards the Theiriot, Purrington, and Bearwallow based on research and having been very pleased with the Pinots I’ve been purchasing.

@Nick Hodne : Hi Nick, the Thieriot is consistently more overt and has many tropical notes. Purrington and Bearwallow are great too. Don’t pass up the Sonoma Coast Chard. It’s one of the best bangs for the buck in Sonoma Coast Chardonnay. It punches way above its price of $30.

@Bryan Kesting thanks for that info! I’d planned to get a few Sonomas on price alone, so I’ll probably now be putting more in the cart.
