Onabay Vineyards "Yellow Crown" Chardonnay
North Fork, Long Island, USA, New York
White, Still
Pairing Idea: This specific wine
I think this is a wee bit light in body. A bit wanting. There is that pungent saline, salty thing, and a bit more apple and yellow plum notes that weave fruity contrast to the earthy, saline thing in the crab cake and that works. But, it's not favorite. It's solid. It's a contrast and it's not in harmony.
