Woodbridge Chardonnay
Mondavi's everyday California Chardonnay, poured here for decades.
The story behind Woodbridge
Robert Mondavi bought a grower cooperative in Lodi in 1979, near the town where he grew up, and named it Woodbridge. The point was plain: fruit-forward California wine for the Tuesday table, not the auction catalog. The Chardonnay comes from 100% Chardonnay grapes, fermented partly in stainless steel to keep the pear and apple bright, with a portion aged on the lees in oak for the vanilla and warm cinnamon you taste on the finish.
We have poured this one across our counter for over thirty years, and it has stayed consistent through every vintage shift. Wine Enthusiast has handed it Best Buy designations across multiple releases since 2011. That is the whole story: reliable California Chardonnay at a price that lets you keep a magnum in the fridge.

Woodbridge Chardonnay sits in the value tier, and our shelf reflects it. The 1.5L magnum runs $11.99, and the 3L is $19.99, which works out to roughly five standard bottles for the price of a single mid-shelf Chardonnay elsewhere. The 750mL lists at $6.99 when we have it, and the 500mL and 4pk 187mL sit at $4.99 and $6.99. Formats rotate, so call the Commack store at (631) 343-7200 before you drive out for a specific size.
Magnum stays cold in the door, covers dinner and a second glass.
One box pours for a crowd without a corkscrew relay.
Less toast, more green apple, better with salads and shellfish.
