☆Tasting - Butter - Chardonnay

My other Family Weekend pick was a Chardonnay by Jam Cellars called Butter! My mom had read a couple articles about it, shared by some family friends who own a winery, so it was a must buy! I usually am not a Chardonnay girl but I was convinced!

My mom and I tasted this wine while watching the Blood Into Wine movie this weekend. We had this wine without food after a very heavy dinner and dessert out in Norman.

 I really liked the dry and medium bodied nature of this wine, and was very surprised by how much I liked it. I think the name of this wine gave me ideas about its taste as well, I felt a kind of buttery, melting in my mouth taste with each sip.

I think this wine could be nicely paired with a lighter pasta dish and look forward to buying more of this bottle and cooking meals to compliment it in the future!

I also think this wine is very cool aesthetically and marketing wise. The play on the branding with the butter and jam is so fun and I think that is why so many people are talking about this wine right now! I think the label also making this stick out when looking at the shelfs and I am so glad it caught our attention too :)

Winery review: Wow…Butter Chardonnay is rich, bold and luscious. Made in the tradition of quality Californian winemaking, the grapes they select are juicy, ripe and bursting with flavor. They cold ferment this easy-to-love Chardonnay to a lush creaminess and age it in our unique blend of oak. Butter brims with stone fruit and baked-lemon notes and has a lovely, long, vanilla finish. Simply put, it melts in your mouth! - Wine Mag
