To begin, I recognize this crisis is a privilege.
Additional thoughts on Char Char: No roles, please. Chardonnay is, if anything, non-binary.
Though I have found another common denominator in that the majority like going to the movies. The non-malos and steel-tankers a little less, a 100-calorie bag. But others are Extra Movie Theatre Butter bombs. The grape, no matter what the winemaker decides, is a cinephile.
Why do the majority of us wine geeks not love or even like this variety? After all, the chances of encountering it are high, as they’re the most planted white grape in all the land.
I think it’s because, by 2021, Chardonnay has lost its heyyy. It wasn’t always this way.
What’s even more confusing? The next Purple Heart goes to a 100% Chardonnay…though a Burgundy babe. Stay tuned. In the meantime, go grab a bottle of KJ and let me know your honest thoughts. PLEASE 😘✨
