Chardonnay

This dress pairs well with everything! Wear this classy number with strappy stilettos or unleash your inner Jackie O. by donning a simple strand of pearls and oversized sunglasses.

Oh, and if you’re interested, the Chardonnay happens to go well with your sister’s sushi, mom’s roasted chicken and your BFF’s alfredo.

Reviews:

2007 Chardonnay:
"One of three new marketing-driven Girls' Night Out wines. Not to deny the gals their own wine (or a good time), but where's the Boys' Night In vino? This is a simple, cinnamon-spiced, apple pie-flavoured chardonnay. A touch sweet, even confected. Good to very good length."
David Lawrason ~ Toronto Life 2009 Guide to Eating + Drinking

2007 Chardonnay:
"To my mind, the best of the lot in pure varietal character; dry, clean and crisp style, no oak, with flavours of pear, grapefruit, a whiff of papaya and a fresh citru quality. The splash of Gewurztraminer gives it a bounce as well."
Dan Kislenko ~ The Hamilton Spectator

2007 Chardonnay:
Peach, orange and citrus nose. It's a pleasing chard on the palate with creamy pech notes to go with lemon and lime flavours all leading to a clean finish."
Rick VanSickle ~ The Toronto Sun

2008 Chardonnay:
"Light Straw Colour with a nose of peach and citrus peel. Medium-bodied and dry on the palate with flavours of apple and peach and lemon acidity;easy drinking, good length. Target marketing for this wine that really works."
Tony Aspler ~ Tidings Magazine ~ July/August 2009
