QOTD: Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay 2006. I am moving away from drinking much chardonnay in favor of other whites such as Riesling or Gruner Veltliner.

QOTD: Jean Manciat Macon-Charnay ‘06. Ripping good… very light on the oak – it’s mostly neutral; good crisp apple and pear; nice weight. I am really impressed by this wine.

Nice show! It’s nice to see store picks now that we are in a low-budget mode.
QOTD: Last one I remember is Calera Central Coast ‘06. It was too alcoholic… although I had a cold… but I think other people agreed with me. It was around $15. Wouldn’t recommend it.

MANNY FOR DICE-K????????? wow.

Should I hold on to Billy Wagner even if I’m being offered 2 fairly decent starters and an okay outfielder?

OOTD – Glass Mountain 2006 Chardonnay, nothing remarkable I used it for half cooking and half drinking. I got it from Trader Joes for fairly cheap price.

Yeah! cheap,high QPR wines. Frugal wine drinkers of America thank you!

Can’t remember the last Chard. I don’t normally go for it. Stick with Reislings and such. I found a great Albarino the other day.

Good Show. My wife is a Chard drinker and I’ll give these a go.

Too bad Super Fly Snooka didn’t jump off the rim off the Jets bucket to mess up Piper and Nikolai!

QOTD:Bookster 2005 California Chardonnay Really nice wine, not overly oakey, and I shared it with friends at a wine tasting I had for my 33rd birthday last month.

Great show, really love the fact that you went with chardonnays today. Thats what my friends and I were sampling today.

As for the QOTD: We tasted the Stoneheaven WMS Chardonnay. Excellent wine.

QOTD: Francis Coppola Director’s Cut Chardonnay at a wine tasting this evening. about $15.00. I liked it. It’s fermented in French oak. It had a sweet flavor.

I was out driving at 7:30 AM on Saturday morning listening to NPR and who should I hear but the ubiquitous Gary Vaynerchuk. Your PR person is really good.

Last bottle of Chardonay I consumed? A 2004 Rombauer a couple of days ago. It’s really not my style, but it was in my cellar and needed to be drunk.

Just had a Chateau Chantal Chardonnay from Traverse City, MI. Really crisp and fruity; almost no oak to speak of. You should check out this winery and many others from that area.
