831 Wine Company’s 2014 Chardonnay is a blend of fruit sourced from the Santa Lucia Highlands and Arroyo Seco AVA’s of Monterey County, the cooler pockets of the region that are best suited to collimate loving varietals like Chardonnay. This wine has refreshingly crisp flavors and aromas of citrus, pear, kiwi and pineapple with delicate undertones of honey and toasty oak that linger on the finish. The wine is well balanced and full-bodied, and a nice representation of Chardonnay from the 831 area code. We recommend pairing this wine with Roasted Cornish Game Hens, grilled seafood, and creamy pasta dishes.

Vegetable Bulgur Stew
The versatility of Chardonnay as an accompaniment to food depends entirely on the acidity (tartness) of the wine. The David Bruce 1991 Chardonnay is a perfect example of a palatable wine suitable for a range of dishes, including this rich and savory bulgur stew.

Incredibly simple and delicious, this chicken recipe from Metz Road is fresh, flavorful and the perfect pairing for their 2013 Chardonnay.

Crab Pasta Delight
A delightful mixture of creamy pasta with rich crab, garlic and topped with cheese. Try pairing it with Monterey Peninsula Winery's 1997 Doctor's Reserve Chardonnay.

Michael's Cornish Game Hens
This cornish game hen recipe is another great one from the Micheal Pozzan Winery. Covering the hens in an amazing apricot glaze gives the dish an extra sweetness that pairs wonderfully with the savory mustard. Try a glass of Chardonnay with this meal.
