Chardonnay Tasting

Recently, we had some friends over to do a side-by-side blind Chardonnay tasting. My husband wrapped 4 different Chardonnays in brown bags and had 4 glasses one for each Chardonnay. We did this because we feel that Chardonnay can be made in various styles that range from oaky, buttery, acid packed to austere.
We chose 4 Chardonnays, one from Australia, Burgundy, California and Oregon. Although we did tell our friends the country/state of origin, our friends had to guess where the Chardonnay came from and any other information they wanted to provide.
One of the wines was definitely more yellowish in color, but it was not oxidized. It was just yellow. Another wine had a very sulfury nose. The women liked the French and Oregon wine the best. But one of us did like the Australian wine. This just goes to show that the various styles of Chardonnay has an appeal to different people.
Bottom line, we had fun doing this!
