    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Mason

    QOTD: Last one I had was Clos du Val 2004 Carneros. Good Chard!

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.
