Nice. I enjoyed this. But Chardonnay doesn't have a floral bouquet. Traminette does, as does Vidal Blanc (mix the two in a white blend and you get something like drinking a basket of roses) but Chardonnay is either crisp and citrus (aged in steel barrels) or mellow and oaky (aged in oak). I'm not being pedantic. I like your writing, but when someone throws in an incorrect fact, even in the background, it can stand out like a fly in the ointment. It takes the reader's attention away from the story and breaks the imaginary world you're trying to conjur.
