Chardonnay Taste Off with Rombauer, Kistler, Butter, Trefethen and more!

California Chardonnay Taste Off
Featuring Kistler, Rombauer, Butter, Trefethen and more!

Saturday April 12th, 2014
11am-8pm

Featuring:
2012 Rombauer Chardonnay
2012 Kistler Sonoma Mountain Chardonnay
2012 Butter Chardonnay
2012 Trefethen Harmony Chardonnay (New Vintage!)
2012 Ventana Chardonnay
2012 Binigrau Nounat
2012 Novellum Chardonnay
2012 Wente "Morning Fog" Chardonnay

 
With the deal we are running on the Nounat, along with the return of Butter tomorrow (yes, you read that correctly), and the fact that it is going to be 80 degrees on Saturday, we decided it was time to break out the Chardonnay. Chardonnay is the most popular variety among U.S. wine drinkers. That, rather obvious, fact is all too often ignored by wine geeks who love to smirk about their latest “ABC” infatuation. “Anything but Chardonnay” may describe the interest level of many jaded wine aficionados, but it doesn’t speak to most wine drinkers. For most, Chardonnay is plenty tasty, and good values abound. Of all those Chardonnay lovers out there, it is the rich and buttery Chardonnay - the character that defines California - that gets people really excited.

Sooo....we'll line all the wines up on the machine this Saturday and let the grading begin. Each taster will be able to rate the wines 1-8 (1 being their favorite) and we will release the results next week (with perhaps a deal on the winning Chardonnay)

If you are like us and love a great Cali Chard, then be sure to stop in on Saturday!

See you Saturday and Happy Tasting!
