Dog Point Marlborough Chardonnay 2015 $36.99 
You know how some chardonnay’s look great in the adverts and there’s a lot of marketing guffery and so you buy it. But when it arrives it tastes like the same version of disappointment you get when you buy a dress off instagram, which, when delivered, is actually a sack of ill-fitting kack from Korea, fashioned from fabric of dubious origin? Yeah well, the Dog Point Marlborough Chardonnay 2015 is NOT one of those. It’s amazing. It’s beyond tasty. It’s golden and glorious in the glass, scented with grilled grapefruit sprinkled with walnuts and brown sugar and has a smoky, shit-yes, seriousness and succulence that I can only describe as “unputdownable”. There’s a lot of technical jiggery-pokery about how this wine was made that I should probably add to this post, but I can’t be arsed because you don’t need to know any of it and besides, if you do then you’re more than capable of internetting it. Find this wine, buy this wine, drink this wine (even if you’re on meds that say you shouldn’t) and then be smug about it around your friends. Because you’re worth it…
