Celebrating International Chardonnay Day!
ABC - Anything But Chardonnay ....such a thing of the past. Today my friends is a day of celebration, Chardonnay is one of the most popular white wine grape varietals in the world and today is dedicated to the promotion and consumption of this shinning star. There is fabulous Chardonnay produced right here in Ontario, many new releases and old favourites.
