I'm gonna have to admit that I'm not that big on white wines. Unless it's a hot summer day or I'm ordering wine for a table with a lot of chicks, I don't usually drink a lot of the stuff. It may also be that I don't exactly like fruits such as melons and grapefruits on their own so why would I want them in my wine. But then again, I don't exactly like eating earthy bark and moss but I don't mind them in red wine either so who the hell knows.

The McWilliam's Chardonnay has a buttery bouquet of peach, citrus and subtle oak. I hear there's supposed to be a little melon aroma in there too but I couldn't get it. On the palate it was rich and creamy opposite citrus fruit and had a nice balance of acidity. I wouldn't say it was complex but it did feel nice to lather your palate with it. I had a taste of this while our friends Ryan and Rochelle were over for drinks.

Okay, peace out!
