A Torrontes/Chardonnay mix is an interesting
combination, and one that I never suspected at all.
However, I just wrote about white wine blends, have been a
fan of Conundrum and Pine Ridge's Chenin Blanc/Viognier mix
for some time, and have also just fallen in love with
Evolution (read the review).
This is a wine that I shared with Wanda, a sommelier
from Chicago, while I was attending the festivities of the
Congressional Black Caucus in DC.; she loved it!
The wine itself is 80% Torrontes and 20% Chardonnay, and
while the Torrontes gives off some very nice tropical
flavors (most notably apricot and pineapple), the
Chardonnay tames is the right way, and also embues a nice
aroma to it. This is one of the nicest tasting white that
I have had in a long time, and I really recommend it for
drinking a glass of two by oneself, with a friend, or for a
party.
