Have you tried the new Notable Wines Chardonnay? It’s like a symphony on the palate.
Music plays a big role in my life. My mother has recorded with some notable musicians, and my husband is a country singer who appears on Texas Country radio charts. If you’ve listened to his latest album, you may have heard me as the female vocalist. Music connects our family in so many ways.
We listen to a lot of country music at home, but I enjoy all kinds of music. One of my favorite pastimes is attending the symphony or the opera with my parents. Those evenings are special — an opportunity to get dressed up, enjoy timeless music and atmosphere, and spend quality time with them even though my siblings and I are grown and have children of our own.
After a performance we often continue the night with wine and hors d’oeuvres, talking about favorite moments from the evening. For those gatherings, it makes sense to choose a wine that complements our shared love of music — something harmonious and enjoyable.
We were delighted to discover an oaky, buttery Chardonnay from Notable Wines. With aromas and flavors of butter, oak and vanilla, it’s delicious on its own and pairs beautifully with simple bites like the brie, peach and prosciutto crostini I like to serve.
Notable puts the flavor profile right on the front of the bottle, which is helpful if you enjoy wine but don’t consider yourself a connoisseur. I often know what I like, but the wine aisle can be overwhelming; clear labeling makes choosing easier and more enjoyable.
When serving Chardonnay, I prefer hors d’oeuvres that don’t overpower the wine. These brie, peach and prosciutto crostini use mild, complementary flavors that highlight the Chardonnay’s oaky, buttery character without masking it.
I also appreciate hors d’oeuvres that are simple to assemble — elegant, but not fussy.
If you want to taste a symphony, try Notable Wines Chardonnay and pair it with delicate bites like these crostini.
