QOTD: 2005 Frank Family Charodonnay.

QOTD: Tonight I tasted a sip of the bottle I sold my customers; two ladies who specifically wanted a buttery chardonnay: 2005 Adastra Chardonnay, Carneros.

Last Chard drank was William Hill – two nights ago.

QOTD: Macrostie

EVERY DAY WINES! LOVE THE SHOW! I buy from you occassionally, but also like to find every day wines compared. I will try the AAcacia !!
QOTD: Oak Grove – $5

QOTD: Newton. Fantastic! Maybe because I was drinking it with a friend. Enjoyed the oak.

QOTD: Chard-on-yeah 2006. An unoaked chard sold at Trader Joe’s. Actually pretty decent, didn’t have any problems with it and went great with grilled chicken.

Macrostie.

Good show, gary, also i hope you washed that broken lizard t-shirt between wednesday and friday 🙂 QOTD 2001 Chalk Hill Unfiltered Chardonnay with the most elegant and beautiful nose, 2004 Puligny-Montrachet for the most fascinating(alot of burning rubber on the attack, with a rich medley of tropical fruit on the back?!), and I was not impressed with a certain True Earth Organic Chardonnay, Mendocino-2006 I tried recently, just flat and little expression at all.
PS: Great to have you back!

Yo Gee, Nice QPR Chards in da Hizzy!!

QOTD: da last two i had were a Kistler & a Mount Eden Estate…..

Its been a looong time, this was a great show to inspire me to get some more Chardonnay!

Mount Nittany chardonnay maybe ’05 vintage it was ok – not oaky. don’t drink much chard these days as we aren’t fond of the oak and butter.

QOTD: Shannon Ridge Chardonnay, put it on the show?baby!

Last chard was actually the 2003 Estancia. What surprised me is that I bought a bunch in 05 that I thought was way over oaked and just not a good wine. Found a stray bottle and had it one night recently. Turned out that it had a nice butterscotch flavor profile with a certain amount of toastiness. Even a bit of minerality. Surprised me. Seems like aging works for $8 wines as well as for the more expensive ones. Much better now than several years ago.

Melville 2006 Verna’s (Santa Rita Hills). Lovely.

Last Chard I had was Acacia’s Carneros ($16?) which I thought was a little too buttery. Don’t normally drink Chards but I think I might try the Acacia A.

GV,

It was a 2005 Frank Family – just this past week…

QOTD: Stanley Lambert’s “Pristine” (unoaked) chardonnay.

QOTD: 2005 Step Rd.

QOTD: Can’t remember. Been off chard for a while cause of oak and boredom. I think I will pick up the Acacia and give it a try.

Dave.

If blends count, it would be 2006 Cusumano “Angimbe,” a blend of Insolia and Chardonnay. If not, it would be a 2004 Lavantureux Chablis that I got in half-bottles as a closeout. There must have been something seriously wrong with that wine — it smelled like stinky cheese.

Thanks for the show, GV. Its nice to see tastings of the wines you can find easily. QOTD: 2004 Sharpe Hill Chardonnay Cuv̩e ammi phillips Рreally good

On a show a while back, you picked a Chard that turned out to be my house favorite – Four Vines Naked. I have had the Acacia products before and I will try the A series Chard.

QOTD – Last night I had a bottle of Martinelli Chardonnay from one of their single vineyards – Martinelli Road, I think. It was a nice wine, very balanced and full bodied.
