British wine writer and critic, Jancis Robinson, once noted that throughout the 80’s and 90’s in the United States, Chardonnay took its varietal qualities to the next level and ‘virtually became a brand.’
Delicate. Malleable. Neutral. Reflecting on its terroir and its winemakers’ preferences, Chardonnay gained fame from its widespread success in the Burgundy and Champagne regions of France. If a painter stares at his blank white canvas with a thousand possibilities of expressing himself to society, winemakers do no differently with Chardonnay.

The combination of tomatoes, peppers, bread, and almonds makes this shortcut version of romesco a big crowd-pleaser. Though the flavors pair well with anything from vegetable crudités to grilled ch... Read more »

Jon and I had a lot of fun the other day in the wine store, and, yup, I ... Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Italian Red, Sauternes, just about anything else--and I don't feel like I'm cheated. It just doesn't work for me with PN. I have mentioned in at least on other post here on the Forum that I am willing to continue the search for that "... Read More

Pinot has been a much celebrated topic here on Snooth over the years I've participated, and it's obviously one of the more celebrated grapes in the wine world. It'll no doubt be a story line I plan on focusing on in years to come so I thought I'd start a thread, logging experiences. Sorry in advance, Greg T.Having said that, I've been mostly dis...

Poison in a bottle.Bay Bridge Wines are made in Livermore C.A. Livermore is the home of a nuclear power plant that has dumped more radioactive plutonium and nuclear waste into the soil and water of Livermore than any other city in the whole U.S. I have drank this wine for a long time and I am afraid that I will get cancer. Please do the research... Read More

Well, dinner was a huge success. We started with a yummy romesco and crostini ... ... served with the Ardeche Chardonnay. The Olive and avocado soup was served with Bochard Pere and Fils Reserve Bourgogne Chardonnay and that worked very well together.

Hi all,Hoping someone might have some info on this wine- maybe Outthere??It is ... Sunrise Farms Russian River Chardonnay, and in the fine print, it says "bottled and produced by Taft Street Winery, Sebastopol, CA". Now, I love, love Taft Street winery, so I bought two bottles of this at a local discounter. It isn't great- and doesn't taste l... Read More

Villa Maria has a really unoaked Chardonnay. Has a butterscotch vanilla finish. I'd love to know if anyone has tried other Villa Maria Chardonnays. I'd hate to buy a wine that didn't meet expectations. I've done enough of that already.

I like un-oaked Chard and find Toad Hollow to be one of the best for the $$$. 2008 is very good and now sports a screw cap.

One of the consistently great Califonia Chardonnays over the last almost three decades has been Navarro's Premier Reserve. This wine can still be had for about 20 dollars and since it's inception has been Burgundian in style with Navarro's "deep-end" touch. I would put this wine up against any price bottle but at $20 it blows away anything els...

For years I have been buying your 5 L boxes of Chardonay and Cabernet at Washington DC stores when they are on sale. For the past six months; no sales. When I called to ask why? "Franzia has raised prices too much to have any more sles of the box wines."
