  April 18, 2024 - Xanadu Chardonnay, 2015
  2015, Margaret River, Australia
  Chardonnay
  
  Tasted on a summer afternoon in Sydney Australia, not tasted with food but pairing suggestions added. I found this a light, friendly, rich Chardonnay. This is one that I think even the ABC crowd would enjoy.
