Value Wine No. 1 for June is an outstanding value Chardonnay from Down Under, the 2010 Jacob’s Creek Adelaide Hills Reserve, a refined and satisfied white that can be had for $13 per bottle at retail.  Wine Spectator named this Jacob’s Creek beauty a Best Buy for this month and rated the wine a solid 90, describing the wine as “polished and expressive…appealing for its pear, honey and delicate spice flavors.”  If you are hesitant in shopping for Chards from Australia due to lack of familiarity, I would suggest that you price quality Napa Valley or Burgundy Chardonnays, and you might decide that the remarkable Aussie at the jug wine price point is worth a taste.
