    QOTD: I usually work till 10-11PM and drink wine by itself after work so I’d say 80% without food and 20% with food. And I’m a Vegetarian, so that limits my steak cabernet pairings, and I don’t like most white wines cause I’m a snob, or cause I just prefer the red/blue/black fruit characteristics over white/yellow/green ones.

    Nice ep, GV. I am a chardonnay lover. But mostly in its white burgundy personality. Chards were probably amongst the first wines I started drinking. I remember having a california chard (sorry can’t remember vintner) that was soooo buttery I was totally blown away. I’d be interested in tasting that same wine today, (I tasted later vintages and it wasn’t the same) just to compare to how my palate tastes things now.

    QOTD: easily 90% with food, maybe more.

    QOTD: 90% w/o food easy. My better half and I work opposite schedules so therte are few meals shared, but we always enjoy the wine.

    QOTD: There’s wine consumed before dinner, during and after. I’d say 75% without food–pretzels don’t count. Food has such a MAJOR influence on wine (and vise versa) that I personally classify wines on whether they can be consumed without food. Some wines just shouldn’t be consumed without a balance of food. Others are so delicate that just about any food overwhelms. Then, of course, there are those that can be enjoyed with or w/o food. While I like a little oak in Chardonnay, the oil often leaves a bad aftertaste.

    Well, I drink about 35% with food. 65% with out food! We drink mostly in the evenings after dinner when the day is winding down. We will have some occasionally with dinner.
    We are loving the Chards!

    Comments like the lactic acid flava keep me coming back. Great stuff. 20% w/food, 80% w/o

    I drink 80 percent of my wine with food, but at a bar i always choose wine, so there’s the 20% without.

    QOTD: As of late, I only drink wine with food.

    For the past decade, the only chardonnay that I have bought is the Thomas Fogarty Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay, which is relatively crisp and has a nice touch of lively acidity. That can be attributed to withholding 50% of the wine from malo-lactic fermentation.
