Thomas Bachelder used to make wine for Ontario’s Le Clos Jordanne winery. Two years ago he struck out on his own to make Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in three different regions — Ontario, Oregon and Burgundy — under his own label. All three Chardonnays have just been released at Vintages. The one that’s drinking best at the moment is Bachelder Niagara Chardonnay 2009. Food match: salmon or pheasant.
$34.95. Vintages #271841
