Hi Everyone! It’s been a good week here in Dallas/Ft. Worth. I’m watching The Story of Diana – yeah I’m throwing it out there. This is a two-part series documenting Princess Diana’s life from when she started dating that dork Charles to when she passed away. I know I’ve lost my 11 male readers with that revelation, but let me bring it on home…or to the palace. Sometimes the best royalty doesn’t come from a direct bloodline. I have found some good wines that don’t come directly from Bourdeaux or the Champagne regions of France. I have found some great wines from California, Australia, Oregon, Washington, and…yes…Texas. The 2015 Kirkland Signature Chardonnay is a good wine for a lighter wine drinker. I got the wine from Costco. Ain’t no shame in this wine-drinking game. It is a light to medium-bodied Chardonnay with tastes of pear, melon and slight metal. It has a faint sweetness to it, but not overpowering. It isn’t too oaky or buttery. This Chardonnay goes well with medium-rich foods, but not a heavy dish. I didn’t enjoy this wine as much as an oaky Chardonnay (that’s more my preference), but I did enjoy it. You can find this wine at Costco for around $9.00 per bottle. Have a great rest of the week and weekend by enjoying time with family and friends.
August 11, 2017: Update to this post. Sometimes the crown fits too tightly on a lesser known bloodline and gives one a headache. Only a glass and a half last night and a headache today. That’s not a positive sign for this wine.
