I’m not a big fan of Chardonnay, finding them generally bland and soft (aka “buttery”). This 2007 Mietz Cellars Chardonnay, however, is a more acidic style, which I find much more interesting, yet it remains an easy drink, making it perfect for an evening sitting on the couch with a loved one after a home-cooked meal of Spice Hound-infused turkey tacos.

Mietz is part of the Family Winery cooperative, and this bottle is part of the cooperative’s wine club I joined in January.
