It’s exciting pulling bottles out of the cellar. This bottle was part of Myattsfield Vineyards ‘Tete a Tete a Trois’ challenge in 2015 where the 3 winemakers each made a Chardonnay from the one block of grapes.
Surprisingly this combo of the d’Arenberg ‘The Olive Grove’ 2017 Chardonnay from South Australia went really well with a square or two of this Whittakers Dark Salted Caramel chocolate. Who would have thought! When looking up what the name meant I learnt that apparently there are a lot of olive trees in McLaren Vale, including in d’Arenberg’s Chardonnay…
When I see ‘butter’ on a Chardonnay label, I know it’s going to be that creamy, delicious style of Chardy I love. I also think Butterball would be a great name for a cat. Yes, I am a Crazy Cat Lady! This Evans & Tate 2017 Chardonnay from Margaret River (WA) I picked up for about $15….
We received this bottle at the Cellarmasters Meet The Maker event in Melbourne last month. It was a great event to try a ton of wines available through the Cellarmasters website. This Avon Brae High Eden & Craneford 2016 Eden Valley Chardonnay was voted their ‘White Wine of the Year 2017’ therefore I was very keen to…
Who doesn’t love a magnum (that’s 1.5 litres!) of bubbles? Our Melbourne family pulled a bottle of this out and my eyes were like ‘wow’!
This week for #winewednesday we thought we’d get into some NZ wine as a warm-up to see my parents this weekend. I thought this bottle of ‘The Brothers’ 2016 Chardonnay from Giesen Wines would go down a treat.
I’m definitely a Chardonnay kind of girl and I have to admit I’m loving the local Gippsland Chardy’s! We bought this Lightfoot & Sons Wines 2016 Chardonnay for $28 (we also bought one of the Lightfoot & Sons rosés which is very good too!). This Chardonnay is a great chilled out Saturday afternoon wine in my opinion!
In case you missed it, Saturday was National White Wine Day. Okay so it’s ‘national’ as in America, but hey I don’t see why we shouldn’t celebrate too. So I had a look in the cellar and thought this Swan Valley 2016 Oaked Chardonnay from Olive Farm Wines would be the perfect tipple to enjoy on a…
Chardonnay Day 2018 is just around the corner (it’s the Thursday before Memorial Day (U.S.) each year thanks to the creator Rick Bakas). So, to help celebrate I wanted to share 18 Chardonnay’s I have tasted recently that’ll be perfect to drink on #chardonnayday.
