2010 Greystone California Chardonnay
This affordable little beauty was presented to me last week and it is an unbelievable value. Not a heavy over-oaked fruit bomb, this wine was made with food in mind. In fact, the Greystone winery building, which was built in 1889, is the current home of the California branch of the Culinary Institute of America. The wine was originally made exclusively for the Institute, before becoming nationally available. A portion of the proceeds goes to benefit the not-for-profit Institute.
In the glass it is medium gold in color with bright, fresh aromas of tropical fruit, apples and pineapple. On the palate it is medium bodied with flavors of green apple, pears and a touch of vanilla balanced by a line of crisp acidity. At about $10 per bottle, this wine became a new candidate for my everyday house white wine. I would pair this with chicken or fuller fish dishes like tuna.
