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….

Don’t know enough about Chardonney. I know I like Iron Horse more than others. But I get a lot of satisfaction of sticking my snout into a big glass of red and breathing deep. Then that first breathe of room air afterwards, the feelings are hard to define.

I don’t tend to get down on any wines.
I like variety so much tht I couldn’t put Chardonnay on the down list.
We are entering the cooler winter months – here in the NE – and Chardonnay is a more full bodied comfort wine for a white.

QOTD: Finally leaving my lurker days behind…definitely down on the CA over-buttery variety of Chard…big fan of the leaner, crisper Burgundian style, so I drink more French chard than CA. Macon-Village is a good everyday choice.

QOTD: I’m still exploring Chardonnay and so far I really enjoy it. I don’t go out of my way to have it because I hear so often that it’s overblown, but I also enjoy it when I have the opportunity to have one. The last one I had was really bad though, I was checking out a local winery here in Colorado and I just about proclaimed Chardonnay and Colorado wine dead to meâ€”but I just bought another Colorado wine and I’ll be giving Chardonnay another chance soon.

QOTD: I’m usually not too excited about drinking chardonnay b/c I feel its kinda “been there, done that.” That said, I found myself reaching for chards this weekend, and even enjoying the cheap oaky chard. I hate myself.
