A Rave for the Royal Bitch

My Pittsburgh regional food and wine correspondent, aka Mom, reports that the cheekily named Chlilean wine, Royal Bitch Chardonnay is quite lovely. Minnesota oenephile, Doug Fridley blogs its praises too – calling it “crisp and racey” without that “toasty oak” flavor of California Chardonnays. Sounds nice.

Mom wasn’t that keen on the Royal Bitch Merlot – too acidic, she thought. Lenn Thompson of Lenndevours
concurs, saying it looked like Welch’s grape juice and smelled of “turpentine funk.”
