One of our favorite things about getting into wine is that there is always more to learn – especially as you start to branch out on your journey! From the basics to some more advanced books, a few of our favorites include: Richard Bett’s The Essential Scratch & Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert, Aldo Sohm’s (with Christine Muhlke) Wine Simple, and Kevin Zraly’s Windows on the World.
Of course, learning about wine is made better with a glass in hand. A glass that challenges your perception of wine. For instance, Chardonnay has gotten a bad rap for far too long. You may have heard that Chardonnay is overly oaky, a butter bomb, or that cheap Chardonnay is no good and French Chardonnay is too expensive. We say, give a bottle of Chablis a go, and let’s smash these myths.
Chablis is the northernmost region in Burgundy, France and produces 100% Chardonnay. Common characteristics of Chablis wines are dry, light-bodied, filled with citrus fruits and minerality. We enjoyed a bottle of Domaine des Chenevières Chablis ($25) while thumbing through a few of our favorite books on wine. Let us know what you think if you pick up a bottle! Santé!
