Mad housewife is what I am likely to become having wasted money on Mad Housewife’s Chardonnay. The description sounds absolutely delightful, something every wife should be treated with at the end of a long day running the household (and maybe even bringing home the bacon). It is described as being full bodied and having” flavors of melon, pear and Fuji apple abound. Hints of cinnamon, light toasty oak, and a creamy finish.” In reality we felt the 13.5% alcohol overpowered most of the flavor-puts hair on your chest. We caught only a hint of that oaky buttery flavor we all lust after in a chardonnay. These heads of households won’t be looking for a Mad Housewife chardonnay to unwind from our days.

“Wine should be fun, relaxing, and something you can afford to look forward to

enjoy a moment to yourself. A moment without the madness.”
