Looking Glass Chardonnay 2008 Bottle

Salamander Chardonnay 2008 Bottle

A wine that was purchased entirely because of the label on the bottle – who doesn’t love salamanders after all? It is both light and fresh, but still maintains that oaky sensibility common to California Chardonnays. Pairs well with oily fish like salmon or trout.
