My 6-year old daughter inquired me the other day how does a magical pony’s breath smells like. Puzzeld and bewildered for a few moments, I quickly replied casually: „like a youthful and balanced Chardonnay, of course!”.

If we take this 2013 Theia Chardonnay, from Halewood Winery, it has all the ingredients that might be on a magical pony’s diet. Elderflowers, ripe apricots, honeydew, vanilla fugge, some zesy citrus …and a dash of pixie dust, of course.

Are you saying that there’s no such thing as a magical pony?? It’s a heresy comparable only to claiming there is no Santa Claus…
