It's a wine blind tasting for us this week! I'm excited to share with you something that Jonessa and I put together as a Wine Challenge Chardonnay Face Off! That's right, this will be a quest to put head-to-head Old World vs. New World white wines to find out it if Burgundy vs. California Chardonnay will come out on top. Chardonnay is probably the most popular white wine the world! Being a white wine that is full-bodied has made Chardonnay the gateway of white wine as most people take a liking to red wine first before appreciating the more subtle nuances of white wine. Also, Chardonnay as a grape has relative ease in growing in different types of climates, thus it's been widely planted all over. From its Old World roots in France, it is also widely planted in New World wine regions of Australia, Chile, and the USA. As a versatile grape, it does produce varying results in terms of wine complexity and depth. A cool climate Chardonnay such as that of France can taste very distinctly different from a warm climate Chardonnay from Australia. What are these tasting profiles and as amateurs, can Jonessa and I tell which Chardonnay is coming from the New World vs. the Old Word? Moreso, which one do we prefer? Will we share the same opinion as to which Chardonnay tastes better or will we have a contrast of opinions whether New World or Old World will triumph over the other? Watch this video to find out how our Chardonnay Challenge pans out!

Of course, this is keeping to my theme of finding the best cheap white wines in the Philippines so this will be showcasing the best cheap Chardonnays that we can find for under P500 or $10. Plus, pairing with Salmon as our entree today to answer the question: "what wine should I pair with Salmon?". Is California wine better? Or is French wine better? We have here a classic battle between a Burgundy Chardonnay from France and a California Chardonnay from the USA to go head-to-head! Stay tuned to find out! But one thing's for sure, here is where you'll find cheaply priced best white wines in the Philippines! It's USA vs. France!
