This Chardonnay was a YOLO experiment. It's the only wine I've ever made that HASN'T won an award because "It lacks varietal character" That's exactly what I wanted. So after hearing that and getting feedback from wine professionals that this was my best wine, I've stopped caring about wine awards. You won't see me bragging about how well I fit into their narrow boxes for what wine "should" taste like. Judge Me Harderr Daddy
