Then Jacqueline Milburn, Western Divisional Manager for Grgich Hills joins us to talk about her visit to Wichita for the Midwest Winefest, the winery, and this week’s wine of the week.
Good Life Guys Wine of the Week:
2010 Grgich Hills Estate Chardonnay, Napa Valley
Following the classic style that Miljenko “Mike” Grgich established when we began in 1977, we did not allow the Chardonnay to undergo malolactic fermentation, crafting a wine that is alive with delicious acidity. The wine’s crisp, yet rich, flavors of tropical fruit, white peaches and hint of mineral are perfect for fresh seafood, roasted chicken, grilled pork, or creamy cheeses.
Time in oak……Fermented and aged 10 months
French oak: 60% neutral barrels, 40% new barrels
Production……..25,853 cases (12/750 ml.)
Blend …………….100% Chardonnay
