Have tried the Acacia and Cutrer. I love Chards, but mix in Viognier and some blended whites when I am in the mood for a white wine. www.winelx.com

qotd: I'm down on over oaked and buttered (mostly new world) chard because it's just plain out of balance with the rest of the components in the wine, over powers a lot of foods, and too many are just a one trick pony. There's plenty of chard producer's using oak-not just the Montrachet's and Meursault, who are doing it right. They know how to use oak without smothering the wine with it. Over oaked chard's are just out of whack, boring, and don't have a lot going on. They don't require much thought, it's like a popcorn movie. Actually maybe they'd go well with buttered popcorn and a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, maybe I'll have to try that.

QOTD: I like burgundian flavours over the oak.

Fun show. I loved the references and the struggles with whether or not a wine is over the top. I often do that, especially with those mid-price offerings. A lot of them seem unsure about what they want to be.

QOTD: I love chardonnay, and I’m pals with the Butter Bandit. I don’t want to slip and slide off the table, but I don’t mind a little popcorn with my vino.

Hahahahahaha…. More shots at Barry Bonds plus a knock on Joan Rivers? You could have come in and swore at us then passed out and for those two jokes alone it would have been a good show. Nice to see some Chardonnays that wernt insanely overoaked for once. Def not my style either. QOTD: I do, but thats mostly because Ive had some cheap ones that just wernt any good, either with my parents or at a party. I think I need to change that….
