Gourmets of Wine > White Lie Early Season Chardonnay, California

[culturedwino.com: A blog about wine and other yummy things] White Lie Early Season Chardonnay, California You may have seen the dustup on the blog a few months ago regarding White Lie Early Season Chardonnay, so when I received an instant message from Beringer Blass’ PR folks offering me a chance to speak to Tracey Mason, Beringer Blass’ Director of Global Innovation, I said “Uh, okay.” White Lie bills itself as a lighter-tasting, lower calorie, lower alcohol chardonnay designed for women by women. The grapes were grown and picked in Santa Barbara, California where, Mason says, the cooler temperatures produce grapes that can be picked earlier in the season than if they had been grown in Napa or Sonoma.

A surprisingly sweet entry shows butterscotch but mostly it feels like a sugar-coated California Chardonnay while trying towards a French sensibility.
