But, that's just part of teaching! Currently, we are studying Chardonnay -- I love White Burgundy, many Chardonnay's from California and even Chile but I don't admire this variety, for the most part, from Australia. Mainly, because I'm not a fan of lot's of butter and lot's of oak (some California Chardonnays fit this bill as well.) However, I can honestly say that I do love Leeuwin Estate Chardonnay from the Margaret River area of Australia.
What you should know about Chardonnay? It's one of the easiest wine varietals to grow, it's considered an international grape variety (because it is grown so many places and is so popular,) and it can be made in several different styles from un-oaked and fruity to rich and buttery.
I'm drinking B.R. COHN 2009 Sonoma County Chardonnay at the moment -- on the .05 cent sale at BEVMO. It's easy to drink, good overtones of fruit, apple and butter -- easy on the palate and the second bottle is basically free!
