SCFTW (Screw Cap For The Win)!
This Chardonnay by House of Brown is part of the Brown Estate family – Napa’s first Black owned estate winery (their Zinfandel is fire!). It’s a little hard to find but keep searching. It’s totally worth it! HOB’s motto is “Come one, come all.” That’s definitely the vibe we could all use right now.
I think it started out a little too cold. The flavors were a tad muted. I let it warm up and the notes were jumping out of the glass! The nose is intoxicating. I could not stop smelling it. I opened it next day and the wine was still vibrant and tasty.
Seriously, I’m on the white wine train. I can admit it, it took me a minute. I normally drink Reds with the exception of Champagne and Rose. I guess it took the right white wine (I believe it was a white Burgundy or a Chardonnay from Argentina).
Dazzling pale gold color, lemon, orange blossom, tropical fruit, beautiful acidity and a long delicate finish. This wine is 100% stainless steel, vegan friendly and the fruit is from Lodi (95% Chardonnay and 5% Vermentino).
I enjoyed this with a delicious crispy fried fish sandwich and a green salad from Milk and Honey Express.
