WineScores' Review

Golden, toasted, fresh.
This Chardonnay is aged in very large oak vats called foudre, which prevents less juice to wood contact, which means less oakiness and more fruit expression in the finished wine. The style of the barrel also allows less air penetration, thereby less oxidization in the wine.
Smoky and buttery with voluptuous golden fruit, toasted pastries and grilled lemons. The palate is equally buttery and spicy with light toast. Substantive yet juicy, with overall great value. Pair: Crab ravioli, corn on the cob, smoked Gouda, creamy soups and pastas.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
