Steven's Choice:Louis Jadot Chardonnay

For the past few weeks my friend Steven has been suggesting I try Louis Jadot’s 2011 Chardonnay. Turns out Robert Parker also recommends this wine and added it to his “Best Value” list. If Robert Parker and Steven both say a wine is good, I am buying it.

Louis Jadot’s latest Mâcon-Villages vintage is wonderful. Crisp apple, ripe peach, and light oak combined with notes of melon and a touch of rose for only $11.99 is enough to elate Ebenezer Scrooge into a ballad of Holly Jolly Christmas. This Chardonnay will pair marvelously with appetizers and hors d'oeuvres and is a cheese lover’s answer to prayer.

Cost: $11.99, Trader Joe's
