Chardonnays from France & California
Saturday, December 14th
Trapp Family Lodge Wine Cellar
Quite a few attendees of these tastings the past few years report that they have given up on Chardonnays. Most of them are primarily familiar with California Chards. “Too much butter, too much oak” is the general lament. My personal tastes have moved away from that style over the past dozen years. Though on occasion I still find myself craving a heavier California version.
Once upon a time Chardonnay was synonymous with white wine in the United States. If we ordered a house white we expected a chardonnay.
But no longer. We now enjoy a wide range of white varietals.
But let’s give Chardonnay its due. It can make wonderful wines and those of you unfamiliar with French versions are in for an eye opener.
Price is $20. Please call or see the front desk to place reservations. 802 253-5742. Doors open @ 4:00. I suggest you arrive no later than 5:00 to avoid feeling rushed. People come and go during the tasting which is an informal walk around format. We end at 6:00
