Crisp Enjoyment: Chardonnay at the Sheraton in Baltimore

During a recent stay at the Sheraton in Baltimore, I had the opportunity to try a Chardonnay that left a notable impression. While it leaned towards the crisper side, which isn't my usual preference, it was an excellent choice for those who favor an unoaked taste.

The Chardonnay poured a pale golden hue, and the aroma was an inviting blend of citrus and green apple, with a hint of floral notes. This set the stage for what would be a refreshing tasting experience.

On the palate, the wine was undeniably crisp and clean, with bright citrus flavors and a touch of green apple. The absence of oak allowed these flavors to shine through, making it a refreshing option, especially for those who appreciate a more unoaked profile. Despite its crispness, it maintained a well-balanced character that was enjoyable.

However, at $16.99 for a small pour, I found it a bit pricey for my taste. While it was a delightful wine, the cost seemed a bit steep for the serving size. That said, I'm confident that you could find this wine at a better price point in retail stores, making it a more appealing option for regular enjoyment.

In conclusion, the Chardonnay at the Sheraton in Baltimore is a solid choice for those who prefer a crisp, unoaked profile. While the price at the hotel bar may be on the higher side, it's worth seeking out in retail for a more budget-friendly option. For those who enjoy a bright, refreshing Chardonnay, this one comes highly recommended. Cheers!
