Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.

Wine Tasting NotesThis Chardonnay has the most beautiful pale light yellow color, yet when you swirl the wine in your glass and see the viscosity of the wine, your mind starts thinking big.
