Folie à Deux
Ménage a Trois Gold California Chardonnay
California, USA
Wish I was better at Chardonnay tastings; wine had weight of light oil in fluid with nuances of browned butter, vanilla flower, apple, hint of lime and flat back end of ripe rhubarb ...the sour wad cleansing. No apparent barrel influences. Enjoyed with King Crab, heated butter,& salad made of arugula, tomatoes with lemon juice, Parmesan Reggianao cheese & olive oil dressing. #happy2018

Quite good! Buttery with a nice stronger blend of citrus with a does of vanilla - reliable and good silky smooth Chard.

Notes of pineapple, lemon, pear, and vanilla. A creamy/ buttery mouthfeel. A great weeknight Chardonnay and easy on the wallet. I recommend

Tasted like a regular Chardonnay, I couldn’t get the buttery notes, maybe I wasn’t pairing it correctly. It was purchased from a clearance shelf at Target.

Nice Chardonnay...buttery notes, almost caramel, and very floral. Well-balanced with a bit of acidity. Pleasant surprise.

Hmmm. Advertised heavily as buttery. It has a decent buttery aftertaste once you swallow and breathe in some but while in the mouth, it's not particularly buttery, complex, or even actually good. But I really do like the aftertaste a lot. Leaves me in a quandary, I wish I liked the actual experience of the wine in my mouth more than the memory via aftertaste. Maybe better the second day it's open.
Note: liked it the second day more, would buy again, great value and fits my preferences for chardonnay well. (Bought at WinCo)
