Jim Olsen California Chardonnay NV
About the wine
Best Rated Chardonnay - 85% customer approval
- Easy drinking and refreshing with just some light oak, this Chard shows off Jim's years of experience tinkering with Chardonnay in big wineries like La Crema.
- The key to this wine is Jim's clever blending of rich Central Coast grapes and cooler climate Mendocino grapes to make a balanced and fun wine.
- You need a balanced Chard in your life because it's rich enough for food but light enough to drink on its own. Guaranteed to get people sipping.

Meet the winemaker - Jim Olsen
Years Angel-funded: 2012-18
- Jim didn't just study wine at the University of California, he taught about it for 30 years.
- Before Naked, he worked mainstream jobs like La Crema and held quirkier side gigs - like growing Portuguese grapes in Californian soil.
- Jim spent decades in California cellars. At Naked, he found the most surprising deals for Angels - delighting you with Winemaker Fantasy wines (like White Barbera!) as a true champion of the rare varieties and vineyards in the state.
