Chalone Chardonnay 2009

Chalone Chardonnay Estate Grown 2009 (WS88, $24.98, SKU 858373) This was the first time I saw this wine available in B. C. I was introduced to this by a tasting panel member two years ago. He brought a bottle back from the States and noted that this was a famous producer of Chardonnay there but the wine was not available locally. When I saw this appeared in the LDB store, and the price was the same as the U.S. release price, I immediately bought one and opened it over the Easter holidays. I tasted it with some take-out Chinese and Western food. It was refreshing and fruity but not too sweet. This was not a lame wine as the alcohol content was 14.5%. It should go well with seafood. There is ample stock in most of the stores.
