Currently not scheduled available here. for more info check the TCM Website
One of Hollywood’s most versatile entertainers, Harold Lloyd stands with Chaplin and Keaton and as a comedic landmark of silent cinema. This label celebrates one of his most beloved films, in which he winds up dangling from an enormous clock atop a Los Angeles high-rise. Lloyd’s all-American charm is as winning as his hijinks are exhilarating. This captivating Chardonnay is the perfect costar.

THE GRAPE
THE REGION
Nestled in on California’s North Coast, Mendocino is about two hours north of Napa. It’s “just the place for those who like to venture off the path” (Wine Spectator). This bucolic haven for qualityconscious, family-owned vineyards is well-worth the road trip if you’re ever in the area. Not only is it a scenic drive, but your destination is home to seriously delicious values, like this lovely Chardonnay.
WITH FOOD
With its ripe, orchard-fruit flavors and smooth texture, this Chardonnay will shine alongside a variety of foods. We suggest serving it with grilled chicken drizzled in a lemon-cream sauce (to coax out the wine’s citrus notes). It’ll also be tasty with roasted turkey, pork, and other white meats. Vegetarian? This is a winning match for butternut squash ravioli or pumpkin soup.
