  This is a rather lean Chardonnay. The lightness of color and body, the crisp, mineral taste, and the absence of strong aroma make it more like a Sauvignon Blanc than a Chardonnay. Perhaps it was aged in stainless steel rather than oak. For me, I prefer a touch of oak and body when I drink Chardonnay. Still, this wine is pleasantly dry and food-friendly, and more reasonably priced than most.

  Maconnais, Pouilly Fuisse, St. Veran, etc. (Jeff K's): This my friends is why we drink blind. This bottle was a throw in from a party I had been to the prior Saturday. There were some bottles left unopened, so I was given this bottle. Screw capped and all of $10 Ohio. It was the groups #2 WOTN. The interesting thing is that it took about 40 minutes to open up and deliver. I had it at 83 points initially, but it kept getting better with air. Pale silvery gold in color. The nose has slight lemon candy notes but with air those intertwine with a solid minerality. Nice texture. An initial bitter grapefruit rind disappears laving some grapefruit and lots of minerality. Nice balance with a long finish. Food friendly and great QPR.
