Golden leaves and cooler temperatures may tempt us to forego the whites and concentrate on the heavier wines and beers. However, a good chardonnay never goes out of style. You have to put away your white shoes and belts for the fall, but your white wine is just fine. And with so many celebrations coming up, we've put together a list that will help wine lovers pick the best chardonnay for any gathering. Cheers!
Terraces Napa Chardonnay - With a pale yellow hue and aromas of yellow apple, D'Anjou pear, pineapple, and a hint of sweet woody vanilla the 2017 Chardonnay is a showstopper.
Forman Vineyard Napa Chardonnay - Critics love it and you will too. A classic, French styled Chardonnay from renowned winemaker Ric Forman. Do not miss this one!
Jean-Philippe Marchand Chardonnay - Hailing from France, this Chard is aromatic and delicate, but not over-light, full without being heavy, firm, dry and smooth. Perfect for a weeknight sipper.
Wente Chardonnay Riva Ranch - When family matters, consider this legacy Chardonnay. The Wente family has been producing Chardonnay for more than 100 years. Rich, golden color, and aromas of ripe apple, vanilla, butter, and pear.
Koala Ranch Chardonnay - Drink in the rich layers - nectarine, golden apple, butterscotch, and hint of tropical notes that mingle to form a smooth body and soft finish.
La Crema Chardonnay 'Sonoma' - A perennial favorite at an outstanding price point. Pairs well with crab, veal, or butternut squash. Date night?
Fog Mountain Chardonnay - Great to have in the fridge for "just because" nights. It's bright on the palate with crisp acidity from tart fruits and citrus notes balanced by a hint of vanilla cream.
Koala Ranch Chardonnay - Drink in the rich layers - nectarine, golden apple, butterscotch, and hint of tropical notes that mingle to form a smooth body and soft finish.
