It’s Time to Rethink California Chardonnay
About this Event
Think you know California Chardonnay? Think again.
For years, the “big, buttery and oaky” style defined California Chardonnay—but today, a new generation of winemakers is redefining what Cali Chard can be. Bright acidity, mineral-driven structure and vineyard-specific expression are changing the conversation, and we’re inviting you to taste the difference.
Join Wine Enthusiast Executive Editor Maria Yagoda and Editor & Podcast Producer Jake Abrams for an editorial-led tasting experience in the heart of SoHo. Together, we’ll explore the exciting evolution of California Chardonnay through a curated tasting featuring a crisp Carneros Chardonnay and a vibrant J Vineyards sparkling wine.
This isn’t about hating on the classics—it’s about discovering the incredible diversity and energy happening in California wine right now.
Expect engaging conversation, guided tasting notes, audience Q&A and plenty of time to mingle with fellow wine lovers. Whether you’re Chardonnay-curious, a longtime fan or convinced you “don’t like Chardonnay,” this event may completely change your mind.
