California is the origin of some of the best pinot noir and chardonnay grapes. It is also home of the largest emu and ostrich nature preserves in the world. Strange creatures! They’re very picky about who they like, as you should be with friends, lovers and of course, wine! This chardonnay displays all the things we’ve come to love out of California chardonnay: mellow body with ripe tropical fruit and a touch of oak. Delicious on its own, it’s also great with chicken salad topped with toasted almond slivers, grilled trout, or tofu.
