Popular for good reason. Misunderstood without cause.

Welcome to your crash course on Chardonnay, Napa-style—with a Mollie Mae twist. Whether you’re a longtime lover of this sun-kissed varietal or still deciding if you’re team “buttery” or “crisp,” you’re in the right place.

Although it is grown in an overwhelming amount of wine regions throughout the world, Chardonnay has gotten a bit of a bad rap in recent history - thanks, 90’s! Many

At Mollie Mae Wines, our California Chardonnay is crafted to be both elegant and easygoing—just like our favorite four-legged mascot.

Chardonnay is one of the world’s most popular white wine grapes—and for good reason. It’s wildly versatile, plays well with oak (or not), and shines in a range of styles. Ours? A Napa-born beauty that balances creamy texture with bright fruit and a kiss of vanilla.

Whether you’re sipping on a sunny deck, hosting a dinner party, or just trying to make Tuesday feel a little more fancy, Mollie Mae Chardonnay is your go-to glass of sunshine.

So... What Is Chardonnay?

Tasting Notes

In short: it’s like a tropical getaway in your glass—with a Napa zip code. When you uncork Mollie Mae Chardonnay, you’ll get:

  • Pineapple & Pear – Think poolside vacation, minus the sunscreen

  • Lemon Zest – A little zing to keep things interesting

  • Toasted Coconut – Like your wine just came back from a beach retreat

  • Buttery Finish – Smooth, rich, and ready to charm your taste buds

Chardonnay loves food. And food loves it back. Here are some crowd-pleasers:

  • Mac & cheese (yes, the fancy kind or the boxed kind)

  • Roast chicken with herbs

  • Shrimp tacos with mango salsa

  • Popcorn on movie night

  • Brie on a board that looks way fancier than it is

Basically, if you're eating something delicious, Chardonnay wants in.

Food Pairings for People Who Eat

Why Mollie Mae Chardonnay?

Sure, there are plenty of California Chardonnays out there. But how many have been approved by an actual dog?

🐾 Mollie Mae (our Chief Tasting Pup) helps ensure every bottle meets high standards: smooth, sippable, and slightly sassy.
🐾 Grown in the sunshine of Napa Valley, made with care, and priced like we actually want you to drink it.
🐾 No pretentious tasting notes here—just real wine made by real people (with one very photogenic dog).

 FAQs

  • Both! It’s like if creamy and zesty had a delicious little wine baby.

  • Cool, but not cold. Around 50–55°F is perfect. Think “cozy cardigan” not “arctic blast.”

  • About 3–5 days in the fridge... if you can resist finishing it sooner. All wine will taste best within 24 hours of opening, but whites like Chardonnay can hold for a few days if kept cold and corked.

  • Only if those “old ladies” are trendsetters with great taste. 😉

    Chardonnay has gotten a reputation over the years (thanks, 90s sitcoms), but let’s be clear: Chardonnay is for anyone who enjoys a beautifully balanced, delicious white wine—whether you're 25 or 85, wearing pearls or Crocs.

    At Mollie Mae Wines, our Napa Valley Chardonnay is bright, tropical, and totally modern. It's not your grandma’s wine—unless your grandma is super cool, in which case... pour her another glass.

    So no, Chardonnay isn’t just for old ladies. It’s for anyone who likes their wine with a little sunshine, a little sass, and a whole lot of flavor.
