For every good wine, there’s bound to be 5 or more bad ones.
I am truly sick of big corporate companies and marketing teams constantly trying to convince you that their bad wine is good wine. They market it to you all dressed up in pretty bottles, not really caring one bit about the actual quality of what’s inside. They are relying on you to buy it simply because it “looks good”. It’s an equation I like to call 80% Marketing, 20% Juice and 0% love.
Let’s take Chardonnay for instance; even though I personally feel this varietal has gone downhill in the last few years, I want to take this opportunity to redeem this wonderful grape.
The wine I want to talk about today is Saddle Rock Chardonnay, brought to you by the Malibu Family Winery.This Chardonnay is a far cry way from the over-oaked, over-buttered Chardonnays that some of you may be accustomed to drinking. Saddle Rock is definitely a fruit forward Chardonnay with powerful flavors of green apple, pear and orange blossoms. Light gold in color, it offers a crisp, clean light style with a smooth finish… Perfect for these hot summer days.
Remember not all Chardonnays are created equal; try this one out and see for yourself.
