It’s important to admit when you were wrong. And many of us harbor all sorts of misconceptions about Chardonnay—particularly Chardonnay from Napa, California. Ask a room of wine professionals to characterize Napa Chardonnay. They’ll likely describe heavily oaked wines that smell and taste almost identical to buttered movie theater popcorn.

Among them are some of the more hype-y styles shaking up the industry since the craft beer boom. Some people scoff at these popular beers, while others line up to snag the first tastes of them.
