During the month of January, the Wednesday Wine Committee has a unique format...the sparkler, whites and dessert wines can be from any vintage and any location, but the reds must be from the 2007 vintage. It was my first time providing a wine for a lunch, so I was excited to see how it showed. As always, all wines were served blind.
Fantastic Chardonnay from a lovely vineyard. My guess was either west coast Chardonnay or a white burgundy. Not over oaked at all. Nose had a white flower and cream note. Elegant. Oak came through faintly on the finish. Would put Montagu’s Durell Chardonnay just a tad in front of this.
