In today's episode we opine about our fun with wind this week while we taste TWO Chardonnay's from Maryhill Winery - one is an every day Chardonnay and the other is a Reserve Chardonnay. Is the reserve worth the extra money? Tune in and find out (or go pick up both of these and taste through them for yourself). #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #MerryChristmas! #Cheersing
