Balletto Chardonnay 2017 Review
This is a great Chardonnay for the price. It’s soft and tart, with little or no oak influence. It has a nice, comfy, refreshing wine and smells like apples and maple granola (I know). This is an awesome weeknight white wine, or something to bring to wine club or a sip with a cheese plate.
