What a Friday group tasting put on by Dan! Killer wines. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 5 reds, 1 dessert. All blind.
I pegged this as a Peter Michael chard. More mineral driven than the first two. Lighter, and the oak was substantially more backseat than the others. Very nice chard.

If there is a notion that Cali wines are amped up old world wines, this one shows that off in the best possible away. Abundant acid, fruit and mineral all in balance. I’d order it again for sure

This wine is really delightful. It has a nice softness and elegance to it. No overpowering oak. Smooth flavors that just complement the food.
Finally a WS chard without pre-ox

Thank goodness. No pre-ox on this wine. Have been burned by a lot of Williams selyem chards
But this wine had the dark golden hue yet no pre ox. Very fresh and gorgeous
Like the best WS chards - this tastes nothing like typical California Chardonnay and is more like a chateaunuef de pape Blanc
Fantastic melon and stone fruit flavors.
Minimal oak and a good acidity that gives you a bit of heat / alcohol but not too much.
Really enjoyed this wine with salmon and caviar.

Really enjoyed this wine. Good touch of oak and sweetness. Moves quickly into some peach and pear flavors with acidity to avoid a buttery or bomb flavor to it. Air contact helped it express more of the finesse. Very good
