ショーン・マイナー シャルドネ

That grilled pineapple note with the vanilla cream scone really came through for me — it’s like a tropical dessert in a glass without being too sweet. Perfectly balanced for sipping on its own.

The vanilla cream scone hint makes this feel almost like a dessert wine, but the crisp green apple keeps it balanced. I usually shy away from oaky Chardonnays, but this one's subtlety really won me over. Perfect for sipping on its own alongside some sharp cheddar.

That grilled pineapple note on the finish is so bright and refreshing, I had to get another bottle. It's not too oaky or heavy, which makes it perfect for sipping on a warm evening.
