Welcome Home Chardonnay! For the past 5 years or so I have thought that chardonnay in general... blows. Is that too harsh for a wine blog? Should I be more refine? No. Face it. Chardonnay was my White Zinfandel. A semi-sweet wine that got me into other wines. I now prefer a drier white such as savignon blanc or pinot grigio. Lately I have heard of a trend away from the oakier chardonnays so I went in search of this elusive wine.
I went to Village wine shop in English Village and asked about it. They put me onto this wine from Western Australia. With unwooded in the name I figured I was on the right track. What a great wine! I drank it before, during and after a pork tenderloin dinner. The two things that stand out for me are the price and the top. The wine is only $9.99 and yes, it has a screw top. And you know how I am starting to love the screw top. I would like to tell you that the screw top kept the wine fresh for days but I'd be lying. Leigh and I drank the whole bottle.
Drink up.

What the hell were you drinking?
- "A semi-sweet wine that got me into other wines" - It must have been some really cheap, lousy stuff to have given you that impression. Chardonnay is among the driest of whites.
That said, it's good that you have kept tasting and have found a style you like. The more I drink the more I learn about style of wine I like. For example, after a while you know you don't like the style of New Zealand Merlot.
