Stonington Vineyards hosted a release party for its 2016 Oak Chardonnay on November 17, 2017. The new wine is made from estate-grown chardonnay grapes and aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, offering a lightly toasted oak flavor and smooth butterscotch finish. Guests enjoyed music, light fare and the new vintage in the tasting room with Winemaker Mike McAndrew.
