There's no question that a quality Chardonnay really pleases the palate and is one of the world's most diverse and celebrated white wines. We recently had the opportunity to taste this exciting wine and we know that you will love it. This is the 2019 Dawn's Dream Winery Frances Jane Chardonnay and like most wines that we love, it has a back story. The Frances Jane name comes from Dawn's granddaughter and the fun label comes from the love that Frances Jane has for the four-legged fur babies. In fact, $5.00 of every bottle of this wine is donated to Peace of Mind Dog Rescue. We love this!
This wine is on the drier side but welcomes the palate with toasted ciabatta, lemon cream and crisp pear. It opens up the senses and warms the mouth with candied apples, hints of oak and bright acidity, leading to a lingering and satisfying finish. While we tasted this wine without food (like we do all of our wines), we think this selection would be a lovely accompaniment to hard breads, smoked Gouda and a variety of seafood selections. Delish!
