[Madison Foodie] Le Chardonnay: Madison WI Restaurant Review | Madison Foodie: Chef Sami’s menu is generally French, with subtle Mediterranean/North African accents that reflect his Tunisian background.  A good example was the carrot based turchi that was served with a basket of bread: this addicting spread was an interesting blend of sweet and spice, with the flavor of carrots being balanced with cumin overtones.

[South Beach Wine Club] Chardonnay is the comfort food of wine | South Beach Wine Club: The oak used in producing French Chardonnay tends to impart more vanilla tones, unlike California Chardonnay which is more rich and buttery. The buttery character in many California Chards comes from a trick in the fermentation that turns tart malic acid (think green apple) into lactic acid (think butter, cream, etc.).  Chards from other regions such as South America and Australia tend to fall between these two opposite ends of the spectrum.

[My Wisdom Posts] Did You Know That Champagne Comes From Three Different Grapes : My ...: If you buy a bottle and it says champagne on the bottle it’s most likely that it was made from France’s vineyards. If you didn’t get the champagne that is so legendary to the regions of France, you pretty much just wasted your money on sparkling wine.

[LewRockwell.com] Wine, Glorious Wine by Karen De Coster and Eric Englund: As wine enthusiasts, this really isn’t a logical position to adopt, even though the Chardonnay grape is the most abused grape in the world. After all, there are so many talented winemakers in the world, there are bound to be fine Chardonnays available.

[The Wine Rambler] Tasting: France vs California and Bottle Shock at the Clapham ...: While you could argue that the Californians won this tasting for me, none of the wines really excited me enough to want another glass - we were allowed to choose one glass to take into the cinema with us, which did somewhat make up for only being allowed to taste four out of eight, but did still feel odd to me. I would have preferred to be allowed to taste all and then pay for the favourite.
