A Taste Adventure ... Chardonnay 3

Six Stellar California Chardonnays

Six 50ml (1.7 oz.) mini bottles

While Chardonnay is California’s darling white varietal, it’s also the most controversial because of its many different styles. This wine’s wide range of flavors, textures, and aromas are due to the fact that it’s highly malleable and will respond to far wider range of winemaking techniques than most white wine (making it a winemaker’s dream.) Compare six stellar examples of Chardonnay, all from the Golden State, to experience six exciting shades of the grape. Start your journey through California’s North Coast for your first three wines -- the crisp and medium-bodied Hess from Mt. Veeder in Napa Valley, the creamy and rich JCB “No. 81” from Sonoma Coast, and the complex and acidic Seabiscuit Ranch from Mendocino County. Next, explore three equally distinct examples of the varietal – the exotic and luscious Dry Creek Vineyard from Russian River Valley, the aromatic and minerally Grgich Hills from Napa and, then lastly, the plush full-bodied WindRacer also from Russian River Valley.
