VineSmoke Chardonnay 2017 Review
This wine is only available on their website - which also promotes their bags of vine cuttings that can be used for grilling - and the Chardonnay is damn good. It has depth and structure to jive with whatever you're grilling - though chicken and veggies would pair best - and enough acidity so it won't weigh you down on a nice, sunny cookout day. It’s crisp and soft with subtle aromas that will compliment the char.
