Episode Details

Ep 6

Are you a wine lover that gave up Chardonnay during the Anything But Chardonnay, also known as ABC, phase? I find that people often feel strongly about Chardonnay, and usually in the negative direction but I think it’s impossible to hate all Chardonnays! 

So, why is Chardonnay often looked at in a negative way? Well, we are going to dive deep into that along with the history of the Chardonnay grape, why there was a rise and a fall, how it’s produced to get that buttery flavor, whether Chardonnay should be drunk cold straight from the fridge, and so much more. And stick around to the end when I highlight my favorite regions for Chardonnay, including my go-to region for budget-friendly bottles of Chardonnay.

My hope is that by the end of this episode, you will give Chardonnay another chance!
