Episode 161 – We’re Going From A to Z for National Wine & Chardonnay Day!

In today’s episode, Shelley and Phil honor National Wine Day and National Chardonnay Day, which is Thursday, May 25!  To celebrate, they’re tasting an A to Z Wine Works Chardonnay. This wine is from Oregon, which is perfect because we’re still in Oregon Wine Month, and it’s made with grapes from over 30 vineyards. It’s a classic, cool-climate Chardonnay, pairs exceptionally well with a wide variety of foods and brings out the best in food, friends and Fridays!. So raise a glass and join us for a celebration of wine, Chardonnay, Oregon wines and Fridays! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing #OregonWineMonth #IdahoWineMonth

The Naked Wines Wine Word of the Week – Austere

In the wine world, the word austere is used to describe a wine that is high in acidity and tannins, and low in fruit flavors. Austere wines can be challenging to drink when they are young, but they can develop complexity and elegance with age.
