Olive Garden Chardonnay Chateau Ste. Michelle
Chardonnay from Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery, Washington State's first winery, available from Olive Garden's wine menu.
About This Dish
Chardonnay Chateau Ste. Michelle at Olive Garden is a classic Washington State Chardonnay from the same founding winery that produces the Riesling on the takeout menu, available at $26.25 per bottle and containing 620 calories. Chateau Ste. Michelle's Chardonnay is a benchmark Pacific Northwest white wine known for its balance between fruit-forward character and restrained oak treatment — neither the heavily buttered California Chardonnay style nor the ultra-lean Burgundian style, but a medium road that makes it the most food-compatible among the restaurant's Chardonnay options.
Chardonnay is the natural pairing with cream-based pasta sauces, and the Chateau Ste. Michelle version is specifically well-suited to the Olive Garden menu's Alfredo and carbonara family of dishes. The wine's moderate body and soft vanilla-citrus character enhances rather than competes with cream sauce pasta in a way that lighter wines like Pinot Grigio cannot always achieve. At $26.25, it is a $1.50 premium over the base-tier wines and delivers that value in cream-sauce pairing quality.
