Wine of the Day: Lustre Vineyards California Chardonnay

Behind the Burner: Wine of the Day: Lustre Vineyards California Chardonnay

As Chardonnnay continues to be the most popular wine in the US, wine lovers are well-adjusted to the typical accents of caramel, oak and light stone fruit. But Lustre Vineyards' California Chardonnay (2008) isn't your typical buttery blend— it's deliciously fruity with a touch of sour green apples, light notes of tangerines, citrus and hints of melon. The crisp flavor and mild oaky notes leave the perfect touch of vanilla on your palate.

Tip: Pair this bottle with chicken, lobster and rich cheeses like Gruyere or Brie.
