Advice on a couple of Ontario Chardonnay

by Bruce Hayes » Sun Feb 03, 2008 2:40 pm

The LCBO is having a bit of a sale and I was wondering if anyone could tell me about either: Henry of Pelham Chardonnay Reserve 2006 or Legends Chradonna 2005?
I have enjoyed the Henry of Pelham Chardonnay over the years so I think that would be a safe bet, but haven't tried anything from Legend.

Thanks.

Bruce, I haven't tried Legends, so I can't comment directly. But you can be quite sure that Chardonnay from Ontario in general is a safe bet - it's one of the best viniferas that delivers year in and year out in our climate.

Thanks Paul. I guess I was looking for guidance on house style, since I don't like heavily oaked-sweet Chardonnay.
