Bridlewood Winery in Santa Ynez

By , September 13, 2010

“Chardonnay has long-been the best selling white wine in the nation. Made from the chardonnay grape, it is a versatile wine that complements many foods. Often served with poultry, pork or seafood dishes, Chardonnay also works exceedingly well with a wide range of cheeses.”

For wine and cheese pairing suggestions, Bridlewood Estate Winery turned to Laura Werlin, award-winning author and one of the country’s foremost authorities on cheese. “compared to reds, white wines, like Chardonnay, work better with most cheese,” said Werlin. “Most people don’t like to hear this, but I promise you, it’s true.”

We’ll be visiting Bridlewood Winery on our next Wine Tours West weekend to Santa Ynez, October 22 – 24th.
