Wine Wednesday: 2009 Alderbrook Chardonnay Russian River Valley

Today's Wine Wednesday post features 2009 Alderbrook Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley.


Look at that bright golden color! It's like Belle's ballgown. I really enjoyed this wine. A little more expensive than I'd buy for a weeknight ($20 range), but the flavors were so on point. A lot of bright fruit on the nose and then a really buttery caramel flavor once you sip. Mainly, it makes me want to hop on a plane back to California for an RRV wine tasting trip with my LA friend Laura!

    Chard question! What's your go-to for a weeknight bottle? Nothing particularly fancy, just enjoying while you relax after work?

      There's one at my wine store called Irony, it's $10 or $11, and it's a good "unwind" wine. I will even stoop to Cupcake occasionally, but I find that Irony still tastes fresh the next day.

You can be sweet or spicy, but no sour grapes.
