Kenwood Vineyards Chardonnay 2018 Review
This easy drinking bottle is crisp and breezy. It’s under screw cap and below $20. At a party it would be received well. It’s not about complexity here. It’s about a go-to for the get together. Not the wine geek hang per se but def a great bottle for the pool party.
