The 2012 Chardonnay Symposium attracted Chardonnay lovers to Byron Winery in the Santa Maria Valley last weekend, starting with the Winemaker Educational Session, "Chardonnay & Terroir: What's it all About?" at 10 a.m., which was sold out for the first time in the event's three-year history, followed by the Grand Chardonnay Testing, where guests sampled Chardonnays of different styles from 50 wineries until late in the afternoon.
