2005 Cable Bay Chardonnay Waiheke Island

This is THE Chardonnay for folks who don’t enjoy big, buttery California Chardonnays.  It’s not heavy on the oak, but has enough of it to make it…interesting.  This New Zealand wine is similar to a French Chardonnay and is dry with a fresh, complex taste.

Around $30.

PS: Good call pairing this wine with smoked salmon Jean-Guy
