Taste: Tart cherry, medium acid
Pair With: Pasta dishes or hard cheeses

Greetings Wine Lovers,
I was recently asked what was my favorite California-based wine and why I liked it. I submitted Graef Chardonnay 2013 because it was one of the first unoaked Chardonnay’s I tasted. You can read what I liked about it here.

While reading this post, I came across real reviews for wine coolers from another website. I have been looking for wine coolers in the event that I decide to remodel my kitchen, figured I’d share this tidbit as well.
