‘LA Weekly’s’ “Five Great Chardonnays for the Holidays”

Patrick Comiskey offers a great line-up of cool-climate Chardonnay for the holidays on LA WEEKLY’S food blog, “Squid Ink,” including the 2009 Bien Nacido Chardonnay.

“Gavin Chanin worked three vintages under the tutelage of Jim Clendenan, whose Au Bon Climat Chardonnays have been models of restraint for decades. He’s learned well: floral, mineral, zesty, there’s a thrilling tension to this wine as it hits the tongue.”
