Vinum Cellars Chardonnay V 2017 Bottle:1 The best time for drinkingThis is a very rich, textured, creamy Chardonnay which is a classic pairing with Lobster on the half shell (skip the drawn butter). Pairs well with grilled wild caught Salmon and a lemon pesto caper sauce. If there is some of this wine left for dessert its nice with Creme Brle, bread pudding and fruit tarts.
