Unoaked Chardonnay
Lynne is not a Chardonnay fan. She thinks they’re akin to drinking oak chips. Ray Isle, Executive Wine Editor for Food & Wine magazine, wants to change her thinking about that. He suggests three break-out Chardonnays — unoaked ones — to try:
- From Chile: 2008 Cousino Macul Estate Chardonnay. About $11
- From South Africa: 2008 Brampton Unoaked Chardonnay. About $11
- From Oregon: 2007 Chehalem INOX Chardonnay. About $19
