Another killer Wednesday Wine Committee lineup. As always, 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All tasted blind.

I called this Napa chardonnay. Oak driven on the nose with a lot of savory notes...sea salt, popcorn kernel roasted lemon. Very waxy on the palate, which resembled a CdP Blanc along with low acidity. I’d drink up, but certainly not over the hill.
