Light lemon in color.

Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing limes, grapefruits, light vegetables, lemons, green apples, nuts, herbs, earth and minerals.

A little watery but nice and refreshing. Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

Tangy and interesting.

90 points.

$45.

Fresh and mineral Chardonnay. Very elegant. Typical burgundy: tropical fruits, peach, citrus, blossom, white flowers, limestone, high acidity, long finish.

My last Burgundy was after a comedy show, this Burgundy is before a comedy show. This wine is filled with citrus and tropical fruits including my favorite Star Fruit! An almond finish is getting us ready for nuttiness of Cheech and Chong.

Vincent Girardin Les Vieilles Vignes Pouilly-Fuissé 2016: Aromatic. Balanced. Dry. Soft notes of green apple, melon & lemon zest. Nice minerality. Fresh clean finish. A perfect complement to this memorable June 2021 meal at Nobu in Dallas! Cheers🍷🍣
