Well now....as luck would have it, same year as the Thanksgiving wine I reported on ....different vineyard, and my what a difference! I ordered the Farniente, but was served the Nickel and Nickel by the server instead, lol. Labels are so similar, and I didn't have my glasses handy! Now we are talking buttery, silky smooth, apricots and all that is wonderful about a great Chardonnay with Attic Char at 925, The Landing Hotel, Wayzata.
