Make Mine A Chardonnay
Say the word 'Chardonnay' and images of a tragic Bridget Jones swigging it on the sofa come to mine - a nasty 90s drink that you haven't touched in years. Well, it's time to ditch the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) attitude, the wine is making a comeback and it's far more refined - and tasty - than before. In honour of Chardonnay Day (yep, it exists) we've selected eight of our favourites. Cheers!
