Fudge 2013

A Chardonnay Straw wine, oh how they chuckled. 

It was said that it could not be done. That is was a fools errand. That it was just the kind of pursuit that could easily drive a sane winemaker right into the loving embrace of a straight-jacket. 

But, in our eternal quest to better understand this noble cultivar, we set out failing to heed the many, many, many warnings. 

The result is a superbly structured Chardonnay straw wine.  No saccharine sweetness or high alcohols. This baby cruises in at a low flying 11% making it the perfect post-meal-accompaniment.

What the Fudge does in the company of cheese is simply not suitable for younger viewers.
