Happy Sunday All! It is a beautiful day in the Dallas area and a great day to drink a Chardonnay. I enjoy Chardonnay and the 2018 McBride Sisters Collection Central Coast did not disappoint. It is a medium-bodied wine and has the oak I like in a Chardonnay but also had hints of melon and peach. It will stand up to chicken and fish dishes very well. I read the McBride Sisters’ story and it is incredible. Robin and Andréa were raised separately in the wine regions of Monterey, California and Marlborough, New Zealand and were unaware of each other for half of their lives. They found each other in 1999 and established the largest black-owned wine company in the United States. I am proud to say they established a #yesshecan2021 program that provides grants to professional women in the wine and spirits, hospitality and finance. What I love about this story and these women is that, while their backgrounds were complex, their uniting around a passion for wines and helping others, led to some really great things. I hope you enjoy this Chardonnay for around $15 per bottle at Total Wines and in some grocery stores.
A great blend of wine and wisdom
