As an aside, could someone explain why anyone would drink Chardonnay? It has no taste.
A good Chardonnay has an excellent taste but you need the proper glass. A Chardonnay glass has a wide lip so that the wine washes over your whole tongue. Narrower wine glasses focus the wine down the middle of the tongue which gives it a bitter taste(to me). I never appreciated Chardonnay until I learned this. Many Chardonnays have a smooth,buttery taste to me. Quite pleasant.
