My Review: On the way to Key West for Spring break, my roommate and I were bumped up to first class because they had forgot to assign us seats! This was a great start to spring break! Since alcohol was free, we decided to try some wine for our wine blog! This Chardonnay was very good and smooth. When smelling it I smelled a lot of different fruit including apples and other citrus-like flavors. It was very relaxing to drink and although we did not drink this with food, I would definitely drink this wine again.
