Kendall Jackson Chardonnay Vintner's Reserve 1998

Pros: Light bodied but warm, rich but drinkable, great with lobster.
Cons: Can't think of any.

The grape or the grain: which is better? That’s a question connoisseurs of both beverages have debated for centuries. It’s one that I myself have never really pondered, since I am of the opinion that any such debate is an academic one. Neither beverage...

Pros: Like butter, a stick of melted butter.
Cons: You're out of luck if you like a dry white.

Production Notes/Honors

Kendall Jackson Chardonnay Vintner's Reserve 1998 is a hybrid wine, blended from grapes harvested from various California coastal vineyards, then aged in oak barrels. A fairly new line, introduced in 1995 as a...

Pros: A well-priced, well-rounded, well...decent, Chardonnay.
Cons: It's quality and value. It is not exciting and thrilling. Yawn.

I have known several people through the years that would consider Kendall-Jackson's Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay their house wine; their most quaffable on a daily or frequent basis wine. I never let this strange preference stand in the way of my respect...

Pros: A gentle chardonnay that is good alone
Cons: Not for even mildly seasoned foods

While dining out last night I thought that a good Kendall Jackson Chardonnay would go well with the meal that my lady and I were considering. Butternut squash soup, spring rolls, wild mushroom ragout and pan fried Rockfish sounded like a very good match...

Pros: Always quality product!
Cons: Cant think of ANY!

I absolutely love the Kendall Jackson Vintners Reserve line of wines. While it is always enjoyable to venture off, try new wines, etc., it is a pleasure to know that you are always "safe" with a KJ VR. The 92 will taste like the 93, 94, and...

Pros: Smooth, Orchard Aromas. Slight vanilla. Reasonable priced
Cons: Doesn't go well with Spicy foods or beef

Kendall Jackson Chardonnay is my comfort wine -- a wine that I drink when I'm "drinking alone" and a wine that makes a bad day go away. After a stressful day at the office, a near-miss traffic accident or a bout of anxiety, you might find me in the...

Pros: Consistent, tastes good, moderately prices
Cons: It ain't cheap

Let me start this epinion by stating emphatically I am not a wine lover, not a wine expert, and have very little idea what makes one wine better than another. I am writing this epinion on behalf of the many people out there I know are like myself...

Pros: Taste, cost
Cons: None

This wine is definitely better than beer. Personally, I used to only drink lite beer. Then one day, a loyal friend introduced me to this wine when we went to dinner. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was only $15 a bottle at the local...

Pros: Very smooth
Cons: Some may not like to taste the oak flavor

I've been to wine tastings before. However, just like a fine wine, my appreciation for it has gotten better with age. I was at a wine tasting of which Kendall Jackson was hosting. We tasted six different wines. One of which was Chardonnay. The first...
