Firsthand reports from retailers and sommeliers have been suggesting that chardonnay is making a comeback, and the sauvignon blanc tsunami may be on the wane. Now there are figures from the statistical font of all knowledge, Nielsen, showing a return to growth of chardonnay sales in both the $14-$19 and $25-$35 per bottle categories. The greatest growth was in the $14-$19 bracket, with sales increasing 6% in the September quarter, compared to a 2% growth for sauvignon blanc. REF: Australian Wine Companion
So to that we say, bring it on.
My Secret Cellar is coming soon to a twitter and Facebook page near you.
As the name suggests its a secret. However, we will tell you that it is going to involve wine tasting, a new variety or theme each event. A celebrity, a guest chef, a wine maker, a wine grower and guests.
And yes the tastings will be done in a cellar.
If you think this sounds interesting to you, make sure you follow either of these people on Twitter to find out more
So stay tuned for more info as the first them is "The Return of Chardonnay"
