COMMENTARY: Since the rise of New World Chardonnay (circa the 1970s), I always knew that this grape variety would eventually become the "cocktail" white wine of choice. Before that date above, American consumers drank "Chablis" which sometimes did not contain even a drop of Chardonnay. As the industry became more sophisticated and moved into the '80s and '90s, wineries knew that consumers would want easy-drinking white wines and that Chardonnay would be the perfect grape variety of choice. The 2016 Happy : Hour® is an excellent choice for a sipping white wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine is bright, soft, and easy-to-drink. Its aromas and flavors of ripe apples, a light touch of wood, and sweet spice make it a beautiful aperitif wine. (Tasted: September 28, 2018, San Francisco, CA)
Because the care is not only in the taste and packaging, but also in health and environmental impact, all wines from Happy Hour are also Vegan, Non-GMO and have low sulfites.
