I enjoy a good Chardonnay. Why, you ask? Well, because it tastes good. That’s about as much description I can give. Let’s get a few details about Chardonnay from Google.
For the most part, I enjoy a good Chardonnay. Once in a while, I will encounter one I am not fond of. I have found that some Chardonnays have little flavor, and I shy away from those, and some are a bit too citrusy for me.

Wine Magazine says about Chardonnay
Unoaked Chardonnay, also called “naked chardonnay,” produces a balanced and typically easily drinkable wine. Total wine describes it as “crisp, floral or fruity with fresh green apple or lemon notes.”
So, the big question, at least for me, is how do I determine which Chardonnay has less citrus? In cooler climates, Chardonnays typically have more acidity and citrus flavors than in warmer climates, which are primarily flavors of yellow peach, papaya, and pineapple and less acidic.
In the warmer climate, chardonnay is grown in much of Spain, California, and Southern Italy. Chardonnay’s cooler climate is from places like France and Oregon, and the list is very long. Check out this
