QOTD: 04 Peter Michael Belle Cote – huge wine, tropical fruits with mineral background and lemon oil.

Hi Gary,

last Chardonnay: Chasseur Sangiacomo Vineyard 2005 (w/mushroom ravioli for dinner).

Karl B.

Had 2 German Chardonnay’s during the last days:

2004 Langwerth Von Simmern Chardonnay Auslese
&
2005 Kug’scher Hof Chardonnay Spätlese Trocken

Both were very good!

Not a chard fan, so not the best show. I much prefer the french style

QOTD: 2006 Sineann Chardonnay

QOD: Bogle Chardonnay

In a hurry today Gary?

Big chardonnay fan here…love it !!

QOTD: Last bottle was St. Michelle, dont remember the vintage, I think it was 2006. We had it with little necks over linguine

I haven’t had a Chardonnay for a while. I’m not a huge fan of whites, but I’ve been trying to expand my pal by trying some different grapes like Albarino and Gruner Veltliner. I think the last bottle of Chardonnay I had was from Evan’s Ranch (Gainey’s second label) over Christmas. So, yeah, it’s been a while.

QOTD: Can’t remember the last bottle I consumed, however, I bought a Kim Crawford “unoaked” chard last week that I’m looking forward to trying.

A side note…last night I was at a steakhouse in Louisville, Ky and had a 2002 Pirramimma Petit Verdot. It was absolutely fabulous. Incredibly unique flavor that got me pumped for petit verdot. I thought Gary would appreciate that.

QOTD: Picked up Columbia Crest Grand Estates ’06 ( 90 pts WS ) for $6.99 at Raleys!!!!

Stop posting on the forums, you’re on vacation!

Not a big Chardonnay fan, QOTD – Francis Coppola Diamond Collection 2005 Gold Label Chardonnay, so-so, not bad.

QOTD: My Last bottle of Chardonnay was an UnOaked 2007 Joie

CAMBRIA 2005…A BIT OF OAK..BUT NICE PEAR / APPLE FLAVORS…IT WAS OK..I’D BUY IT AGAIN.

Last chard was A to Z wineworks from Oregon last week

QOTD: 2006 Dynamite Chardonnay

Very surprising that there was no Oak Monster today! Lucky you!

QOTD: It was from Wisconsin’s Wollersheim Winery, the 2006 vintage. We had it at the tasting after the tour. As my friend said, it had a “scary nose.” The taste wasn’t all that great either. I don’t drink that much Chardonnay at the moment- I keep on trying to expand and have different things.

QOTD: Nugan ‘Frasca’s Lane’ Chardonnay, Aus. last Saturday night with Dungeonness crab cakes.

Welcome back with your tan.

QOTD: 2006 Edna Valley Vineyard “Paragon” San Luis Obispo County Chardonnay for $10 at K&L. It was pretty awful because of – you guessed it – the Oak Monster.

Vega Sindoa from Spain. Pretty mediocre, oak and butter like Cali.

QOTD: Vincent Girardin 2005 Chassagne Montrachet. White burg is currently the only chardonnay based wine that does it for me.
