Chard-on-yeah

I now present you with the first “Wine of the Month” feature.

Chard-on-yeah wine by Trinchero Family Estates…an expression of joy upon discovering the pleasures of unoaked Chardonnay!

Chardonyeah

The first thing I noticed about this wine bottle at Cost Plus World Market was the name. Take out the C, and what do you get? Yep, rather amusing! The name was a great marketing idea, which sucked me in. However, the taste just didn’t blow me away. Instead, the taste was actually neutral. The fruitiness wasn’t as strong, but what I really liked best was that the taste was not too buttery. I’d recommend this wine for simple, cheap meals that don’t call for anything fancy. Heck, it was only $10 bucks.

    egads. I don’t know what to do with this blog. Is “unoaked” a good thing?

    How do you tell when a wine is fruity? Is it a bad idea to giggle when someone uses the word “fruity?”

    And is there even a “buttery” wine?

    Well, butter me up and cork me cuz I don’t know. At least I got the boner joke at the beginning.

    so you dare cross over to the white wine side?

    i think both chardonnay and reislings are 2 wines that are either hit or miss depending on the brand.

    but don’t ask me to explain how a wine tastes. I’ll jsut read off the label if that’s okay with you. thankyouverymuch. ;)
