“ABC: Always Bring Chardonnay”
Thursday, August 20-5:30pm PT/8:30pm ET

This August 30th will be the 25th anniversary of legendary wine writer Frank Prial’s New York Times article that sparked the ABC “Anything But Chardonnay” movement in the 1990s. Three of California’s influential chardonnay producers join Karen to discuss the impact of Prial’s article and their contention that, despite criticism, chardonnay will continue to dominate the American wine landscape for the next 25 years.
