A new perspective in every glass
Chardonnay Wine Tasting NYC

The experience
What this event can do
Help guests discover which Chardonnay styles they actually enjoy. Request a side-by-side NYC tasting that compares selected expressions without assuming every difference comes from oak. A focused white-wine evening works well as a private class or an opening chapter before dinner.
What the proposal should include
- A proposed flight with a clear comparison
- Host preparation matched to your group
- Wine, equipment, and service scope for approval
- Venue and access coordination in the agreed brief
Planning notes
Request available production details instead of guessing from flavor.
Choose comparable price and maturity when feasible.
Plan to revisit the wines with food after an initial comparison.
Updated
Can the bottles really isolate the effect you want to discuss?
An oaked-versus-unoaked flight is an inviting starting point, but the wines may also differ in origin, vintage, ripeness, and other production choices. Ask for the producer information available on the proposed labels. A matched pair can make the discussion clearer, while a broader selection can show a range of preferences. Neither requires guests to choose a universally superior style. Wine Australia's Chardonnay resources offer useful regional context; the tasting itself should stay grounded in the actual bottles rather than familiar stereotypes about the grape.
Shape the experience around your guests
Use this as a starting brief. These are proposed directions, not a fixed package, guaranteed bottle list, or scheduled public event.
| Stage | Focus | Planning purpose |
|---|---|---|
| First taste | Two numbered glasses | Describe weight and freshness |
| Information reveal | Producer's production notes | Separate evidence from assumptions |
| Food comparison | The same bite with both | Notice the change in preference |
| Personal brief | Preferred style in plain words | Build a useful future order |
The details that make the evening work
Serve the pair under similar conditions so a much colder glass does not dominate the comparison. Allow a little time for guests to revisit each wine rather than rushing through a reveal. If food is included, use the same bite with both wines before introducing another dish. In a small apartment, two glasses per person may be more realistic than a large full-flight mat.

Questions
What planners ask first.
Can we include Burgundy and California Chardonnay?
Yes, if the sourcing and budget allow. The host should explain that this changes place and potentially production choices as well as the oak treatment.
What does the price include?
Pricing is scoped to your group, setting, wine selection, and service needs. Ask for an itemized proposal; this page does not advertise a fixed per-person package.
How do we request this experience?
