This is a Video Review of  Woodbridge Chardonnay 2007 California.

Just click on the video picture to go to the video review and get the scoop.

You can also get a teaser of the new segment, The Wine Assassin.

Whats being said around the web:

A good value for an entry level California Chardonnay.

I call 2007 a one-in-twenty vintage,  said Todd Ziemann, Director of Winemaking.  I believe it’s the highest quality harvest in the 20 years that I’ve been a winemaker in Lodi.

A classic, dry white wine with vibrant aromas and flavors of apple, pear and tropical fruit.
