Mission Briefing
Smooth as silk
With summertime upon us, we’re on the hunt for the finest Chardonnays we can get our hands on. When our hunt led Agent Red to Athair Wines, he nearly cried when he tasted today’s wine.
Today’s Athair Wines 2013 Sangiacomo Chardonnay is a delicious, balanced wine that is silky smooth and very flavorful. This is a rich and complex wine that really showcases the Sangiacomo fruit. It also shows off the considerable winemaking skills of Jim McMahon. Mister McMahon has made wine for Belle Glos, Meiomi, Luna Vineyards and William Harrison Vineyards & Winery. If you’ve ever tasted wines from those wineries, you know that today’s wine will thrill and impress you.
At just $24.99, today’s delectable Chardonnay is a real steal. Enjoy!
