Tasting Notes

We've made it to Friday, and the temperature is starting to decrease. Personally, I prefer the warmth of the sun over the cold weather. I long to be in the warm water with the sun shining down on me. Hopefully, Meg's 2022 Flipturn Cellars Skin Contact Chardonnay from the Columbia Valley can help me forget about the upcoming ice and snow we'll be getting in the next 24 hours. Are you prepared for a Chardonnay that will make you rethink the possibilities of what can be achieved with this varietal? Meg's 2022 Skin Contact Chardonnay from @flipturncellars is exactly that. From the moment you smell it, you know there is something extraordinary awaiting you! The first sip gently awakens your senses, preparing your taste buds for an explosion of flavors that come from a six-day soak on the grape skins followed by whole cluster. Typically, with Chardonnay, you have to search for subtle nuances and flavors, but with this wine, the explosion wakes up my palate. This is the first time I've had a skin contact Chardonnay, and I believe it's an experience you should have for yourself! 👇 👇 👇 👇 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 🍷 Would you like to get a Saturday morning email once a month to read with your coffee giving you insider tips on events, news, and an in-depth perspective on a winery?
