TCM Summer Under the Stars 2021

Every day throughout August, TCM devotes 24 hours to the work of one classic movie star. We recommend you devote one night soon to TCM Summer Under the Stars Chardonnay.

As many wine lovers know, Chardonnay is the world’s most-loved white wine. It’s also the second most-planted grape variety in California, right behind Cabernet Sauvignon. Chardonnay positively thrives in Lodi, “one of the top wine regions in the country,” where winemakers “have quietly started producing some of the state’s best wines” (vinepair.com). The region’s warm climate and long growing season help the grapes ripen to perfection, which means delicious things in your glass...

Look forward to ripe Meyer lemon aromas, complemented by baked apple and meringue notes. Luscious, yet vibrant, this Chardonnay is a tasty match for everything from grilled chicken to fresh seafood to creamy cheeses. We recommend sipping it under the stars, with a cozy blanket, a full picnic basket and someone special.

All our TCM-themed wines are made in very limited quantities. Act quickly to secure your share.

Classic Movie Pairing: Gidget (1959)
A bright and refreshing wine with flavors of lemon and baked apple is the perfect accompaniment for any warm summer evening. Its crisp and clean finish makes it a great choice for sipping while watching this summer favorite. Starring Sandra Dee, Cliff Robertson and James Darren, it shares the excitement of the teenage Gidget as she makes new friends, learns to surf and falls in love, all during the course of a high-school summer.
