It has been way too long since I’ve shared any wine with you! Having a baby will do that. I was asked by Uncorked Ventures if I would like to review a few wines and talk to you about their wine club. All opinions are my own; why not come have a glass so they can be your opinions, too! Uncorked Ventures sent me two different Chardonnay wines to try.
Lennox Vineyards Chardonnay
Lennox Vineyards is a small family-owned vineyard in the Russian River Valley. They grow both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. It is a very small vineyard; only on 2/3 of an acre! The Chardonnay was only made because his daughter wanted chardonnay at her wedding. I say he should keep it up on the chardonnay making, because this was an excellent wine. I really liked the Lennox Vineyards Chardonnay. It is a little bit more dry than the Villa San Maurice.
Tasting Notes: Lemon and pineapple aromas lead to a mid palate Chardonnay that is both crisp and oak driven. This is the flavor profile that California made into a brand.
Villa San Maurice Chardonnay
In 2001, Villa San Maurice was founded and turned into one of California’s premier multi-appellation wineries. Villa San Maurice continues to offer some of the finest California values on the market. Their premium quality, moderately priced wines are favored by premium wine retailers and, in particular, the hotel and restaurant trade. When I take a sip of the Villa San Maurice Chardonnay, I get a tingle in the back of my nose. The tingle is not a bad thing, just strange. This wine is more fruity and has less of an oak taste. The more I drink it, the more I like it!
Tasting Notes: Chardonnay fruit originating from highly-regarded vineyards in the cool microclimates of the
region has yielded a quintessential Monterey offering – as we have produced since 1985. The rich tropical fruit aromas and ripe varietal flavors are balanced by the crisp acidity prized by wineries throughout the state. This wine is sure to please a wide range of palates as it develops in the bottle.

Mmmm. I love wine. I have just started branching out and trying sweet reds. It is definitely something I am not too educated about though so a service like this would be great!
I love the idea of curated wine selections! Let those in the know advise me! Love that!
These would be perfect for my brother and his girlfriend! I’ll keep them in mind for him.
I am not a wine drinker, but I like to smell the fruity wines!
What a neat idea for a club if you are a wine drinker.
Mmm… is it 5:00 yet? I think it is time for some Mommy-juice 😉
I love wine. My favorite is definitely red wine!
I don’t drink alcoholic beverages but those all sound delicious. I’d love to gift a membership to someone.
I enjoy a good Chardonnay but prefer the fruitier blends, I’m really starting to enjoy Red Blends as well.
I wish I could like wine. I’ve tried so many times to enjoy it because I know it can pair great with foods. But in the end I can never get past the first couple of sips.
I love automatic shipments of wine at my door. I have moved past the white wines these days so a big selection is key for me.
This sounds like a wine worth trying. Wine has many benefits.
Hheeeeyyyy look who is wine-ing again! 😉 Welcome back lady lol
I’ll bet I would love this chardonnay. I always prefer a white wine and pinot grigio is my favorite.
Now that it is summer, I am trying to enjoy different types of wine. Looking forward to checking out Uncorked Adventures!
This would make a great gift for wine drinkers!!
I don’t drink wine, but I know several people who would LOVE to get this as a gift! I’m making a mental note for the holidays for sure.
I swear there is nothing better than a good bottle of wine. I’m loving the prices very reasonable.
I enjoy a glass of wine every now and then. My favorite is Chardonnay. 🙂
This would make the perfect gift for my sister. She is a wine lover for sure, and is always so hard to shop for.
I’ve never belonged to a wine club before. I like the different options they have to choose from.
I love enjoying some wine on the weekends. I am more of a white fan and my husband prefers red, so the Explorations membership would be perfect.
