Now you know what red I’ll be drinking this year- and also for the record the thanksgiving dinner went so well that I’m taking over the cooking of the
Christmas dinner this year.
But I digress and in my last blog I felt White wine would earn another
Blog all together. Why???
Because its time to address a problem in the wine world- Why has
Chardonnay gotten such a bad wrap in recent years?
The answer is simple (this is obviously just my opinion…)-
Chardonnay was
TOO good. It fell victim to its own high standards and as a result became over produced, and therefore the quality of grapes being used fell- and so here we find ourselves, in a world were people who like chardonnay do so in secret… tentatively asking us in store for a bottle of
Chardonnay like it’s a crime.
But do not fear if you love
Chardonnay there is nothing wrong with you- you are merely one of the few who has been lucky enough to drink good
Chardonnay.
Now there are plenty of good
Chardonnay to try in store so next time you’re in, be brave and ask us for a good bottle of
Chardonnay we won’t guide you wrong and on
Christmas day you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
This
Christmas I’ll be bringing home a bottle of William
Cole
Chardonnay for my family to enjoy!
Butttttt having said all that- there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a Sauvignon Blanc. Especially a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. And if that Sauviognon Blanc at your dinner table this year happened to be the Wild South Reserve then I don’t think you will have gotten things too wrong.
