A Little Info About Chardonnay

Pronunciation: (shar-doh-nay)

Among the pageant of wines available in the United States, Chardonnay has to be Miss Congeniality, if not the crowned princess. Flavorful, sweet and accessible, it's probably the white wine most likely to be ordered while hunkered up to the bar or ordering off the menu at your favorite restaurant. Chardonnay flavors range from earthy and grassy (French Burgundies) to buttery, and caramel-flavored in the United States. Winemakers around the world can get into heated arguments about what a Chardonnay should taste like, but as far as wine consumers go they don't seem to mind what they taste.
