BRONZE MEDAL, 2009 SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE WINE COMP. Ripe, round and citrusy, the well-built '06 Villa Mt Eden Chardonnay stays rich and long on the palate; round and textured in the aftertaste.
Crispy roasted potatoes
Chardonnay's richness pairs nicely with the caramelized edges of roasted potatoes.
Stuffed pasta pillows
Chardonnay's richness balances creamy ravioli sauces, especially when oaked for added texture.
Crispy fried chicken
Chardonnay's body and subtle oak complement the savory, crispy chicken.
Rich soft bread
Chardonnay's creamy notes match brioche's buttery richness.
Zucchini blossom quesadilla
Chardonnay's subtle fruit and balanced acidity enhance the creamy cheese in quesadilla.
Garlic cream sauce pizza
Chardonnay (oaked) provides a richer texture that matches the cheese and crust.
