McManis Chardonnay.....And Dining Al Fresco

While enjoying our beautiful weather today, my oldest son suggested we start eating our meals outside!  Something we normally do this time of year, but I hadn't taken the time to clean the table and chairs from the thick layer of dust that covered them, so I tried to push him off a little bit - it didn't work.  He, of course, insisted, so while dinner was on the stove, I quickly cleaned the table and chairs, grabbed an awesome bottle of Chardonnay out of the wine fridge and grabbed my camera.  Our dinner wasn't really blog worthy (spaghetti and meatballs) - but the wine was! 

This wine is from the Northern California winery, McManis Family Vineyards.   I first tried their wines at a wine tasting many, many years ago - it was a Sunday afternoon and I clearly remember that we were overserved!  From that point on, we continued to stock our fridge with their wines! 

All of their wines are excellent - tonight I enjoyed their 2010 Chardonnay. These are reasonably priced wines and well worth it - I hadn't had the Chardonnay in awhile, it was a screw top, which I didn't remember from before, but I'm completely OK with it - so long as the wine inside makes me happy!

I hope you try and enjoy!

  1. I gotta agree with you about McManns wines. I became addicted to them when I worked in a local wine store, I love their Syrah!!! I love dining outside, we do it almost year round in FL, that is why my wine fridge is on the pool deck :)

  2. The Syrah is one of the best - it was the first we tried and fell in love with!!!
