About Me

Hi! I'm Christina, and I am a recent graduate from Virginia Tech! I'm in Northern VA now pursuing a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I'd like to continue what I learned from the Geography of Wine class I took in Spring of 2012, so I'll be posting about different wines and wine events. I would be very grateful for suggestions, and I'm open to expanding my posts to beer and liquor as well!

James River Cellars 2010 Chardonel


Name: James River Cellars 2010 Chardonel

Variety: Chardonel (Seyval and Chardonnay hybrid)
Region: Central Virginia
Country: United States
Year: 2010
Price: $14
Shop Review: GOLD MEDAL WINNER!  Fruity and off-dry with a provocative spicy banana aroma.
My Review: This Chardonel had slight banana, tropical and light pear aromas.  It has sweet pear flavors with a tart finish.

The Chardonel grape is a hybrid grape from the French American hybrid Seyval and the classic vitis vinifera Chardonnay.  This grape was crossed by the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station at Cornell.
