Chardonnay vs. Chablis

[Kcwhippet]

Chardonnay and "real" Chablis (from France) are made from the same grape. However, some of the jug wines made in the U.S. labelled as Chablis are actually made from other grapes, like Thompson Seedless, French Colombard and a few others. The only similarity with Chablis is the name. So, if the wine they offered was a California Chablis jug wine, then it wasn't Chardonnay.

I can't believe I actually beat IK to the punch on this one!
