Brown Estate House of Brown Chardonnay

The Brown Estate is one of the few Napa wineries owned by a black family. They've done very well, and their wines sell at or above the usual price for wines that say "Napa" on the label.

But as it came time to involve the second generation in the family business, they brought this idea for a wine they could enjoy with their friends in their twenties, wine lovers who couldn't afford $50 Chardonnay. And to say it's been a hit is an understatement. Whatever your age or wine budget, here's a lightly oaked Chardonnay that pairs with a wide variety of foods, from the low-alcohol happy hour to the charcuterie board to the dinner table!
