Flowers is far from being a premium Chardonnay. We used to be able to be able to get Rombauer, the best Chardonnay ever made. But, seriously, Wente Riva Ranch (@@$14 bottle), and even Bogle (@$9 a bottle) and many Napa Valley local wines are far superior to Flowers, which lacks any distinction of a great Chardonnay, are so much better at a far better price. Well, anything is better than that Canyon Road .. but that’s not saying too much, as it is undrinkable. I’m not even a wine snob but really, that stuff is garbage.
I can sometimes find an unadvertised Hartford Chardonnay, which is great, but I think I’ve drank the whole stock on several different Princess ships.
