There are wine drinkers out there who are proud members of the ABC club – they\u2019ll drink \u201cAnything But Chardonnay\u201d and make it publicly known. Chardonnay<\/a> is just one of those grapes that people seem to love or loathe. We embarrassingly fell into the latter category at one point, but to be fair, that was before learning about the versatility of this widely-planted variety. We think that the haters out there just haven\u2019t experienced the wide range of styles that Chard is capable of expressing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing: Chardonnay isn\u2019t particularly aromatic, which means the grape alone isn’t going to yield a flavor-bomb wine like you would with Sauvignon Blanc<\/a> or Gew\u00fcrztraminer<\/a>. But that\u2019s where winemakers get to have a little fun. Set aside your preconceived notions and check out three of Chard\u2019s shining moments.<\/span><\/p>\n
