As of late, one of the most hated wines out there is buttery chardonnay. The disdain is so redolent that folks often refuse to try chardonnay during tastings, assuming it’s oaked. Conversely, they put unoaked chardonnays on a pedestal, decrying relief that this repellant tree was nowhere near their beloved. What’s phenomenal about all this drama is that oak is actually NOT the reason, at all, for the butter, and therein, for the hate. Instead, the term we should be using involves eight syllables, and I want to talk about it. I don’t think the “science” is over anyone’s head, but it will be more of a mouthful than that snappy, one-syllable word, oak. Join me as we talk about oak, pores and all, and then many other syllable-rich verbiage involving the most popular wine in the country, chardonnay. Yes, we’ll have some Chardonnay on hand, as well as a little bit of nosh.
