Chard-o-May Tasting with Boyd Nielsen | Friday, May 8th, 2026

We hear it every other day:

"I'd love your recommendation for a great white wine. I'll drink anything, well... ANYTHING BUT CHARDONNAY"

"My wife loves White Burgundy and Chablis. What's the grape again? Sauvignon Blanc? WHAT?!? White Burgundy and Chablis are Chardonnay? No way! My wife HATES CHARDONNAY! 

Sure, we've all been burned by some overly oaked & buttery crap we've had in the past, but there is so much more to the world's most planted - and perhaps its most versatile - white grape. 

Boyd and Adriana (self-proclaimed Chardonnay lovers feeling very alone in the world these days) are on a mission to show you haters just how versatile and multidimensional the world's most planted white grape can be.

We'll be making our case with 4 of our favorite examples from the Chambers & Chambers book that Boyd represents. We are convinced (and feel free to prove us wrong!) that we'll find at least one example - if not all four - in this line up that will make you admit that Chardonnay ain't all that bad - quite possibly even (gasp!) outstanding. 

And, for our fellow Chardonnay fans out there, welcome to pure bliss!
