Chardonnay everywhere!

[lucy_presley]

Chardonnay is known for its tartness. It is California producers who put it through malolactic fermentation to lessen this bite (the chards known for being buttery), but it's still there for me.

If a winemaker were able to get the tartness down to a level I could stomach, my husband (a/k/a "dananne" to you) would think he was drinking solid popcorn butter.

Overall, it's a lose lose proposition to even try to find a wine to please both of us with this varietal. So we skip it.
