Bottled Up!

Season 3 Episode 5

Charadonnay is the most popular wine in the world. It is also one of the most controvertial. Everyone, and we do mean everyone has an opinion on this fine grape. For many Chardonnay has a reputaion of being overly oaked and buttery, and many are turned away from it because if that reputation. For sure this was and is a style that remains popular, but there are so so many other expressions of this amazing grape. On this episode we dive into the world of White Burgundy and what many people believe to be the best and truest expression of chardonnay. So grab your bottle fill your glass and Drink-A-Long with Bottled Up! a wine podcast... of sorts.
