Grgich Hills Estate Chardonnay 2006

Served With: Manhattan Chowder

Five Things: straw, summer, lemon verbena, thyme, honey

COO: Napa Valley, California

Notes: There are few wines that really "transport" me to a place, but the Grgich Hills always manages to make me feel like it's summer again (despite the mountain of snow outside the window to the contrary). This elegant chardonnay paired quite well with the tomato based chowder, playing up to the wines notes of herbs and citrus.
