6 MONTHS - HALFWAY - TIME FOR KJ



My blog has reached the halfway point...6 months...6 months to go!! So it's finally time to toast with my favorite wine KENDALL-JACKSON CHARDONNAY!!!!
Okay, I'm back now....
For a little history lesson, Jess Jackson, founder of Kendall-Jackson wines was born in 1930. In 1974, he and his family bought an 80 acre pear and walnut orchard. He converted it into a vineyard and started selling grapes to local wineries. In 1982, he produced his first bottle of wine under the Kendall-Jackson label. In 1983, Kendall-Jackson won the first Platinum Award ever presented by the American Wine Competition.
Jess, his wife Barbara and his family still run the business today. For nearly three decades it has been an American favorite - MINE ALWAYS!
For you calorie counters, KJ packs 104 calories in a 5 oz serving, 0 calories from fat and 2% of your daily serving of carbs.
The winery suggests the following food pairings with Kendall -Jackson Chardonnay:
Cheese/Nuts: Asiago, Havarti and Almonds
Meat/Fowl: Veal, Chicken and Pork
Seafood: Halibut, Shrimp and Crab
Veggies/Fruit: Apple, Mango, Squash and Potato
Herbs: Tarragon, Sesame and Basil
Sauces: Cream Sauces and Pestos
I LOVE IT!
HAPPY 6 MONTHS TO ME!
ENJOY!
