Wine of the week

Robert Mondavi Chardonnay 2012

Recommended by: Crystal McDonald, owner, Xclusive Event Services

Price: $15-$20

Tastes like: “Bright and fruity, juicy apple, pear and melon. Mixed with a hint of warm vanilla and hazelnut.”

Pairs well with: Shellfish, grilled fish, vegetables and pasta

Comments: “Best of both wine worlds. Creamy mouth feel with a crisp, mouthwatering acidity. A chardonnay that is an enjoyable start for a first timer’s wine journey.”
