Chris K. dinner (Boka): Full golden yellow color. Medium/full bright nose of mature yellow fruit. Nice zingy ripe yellow smooth palate. Nicer than I expected. 92-93 pts.

Judgment of Chicago - California Cab vs White Burgundy (Streeterville Neighborhood, Chicago IL): Tasted as part of the ”Judgment of Chicago WLTV Offline” Tasting at one of our esteemed offline colleague’s residence in Chicago on March 29th, 2008. The purpose was to compare and contrast 14 high-end California Chardonnays and White Burgundies side-by-side in a double blind tasting.
Sight: Light to medium straw yellow; fairly clear; medium-light viscosity for a white wine Nose: First reaction was ‘Classy’; Muted nose; Elegant; Clove spice; Heavy citrus; Apricot; Green apple Taste: Medium bodied feel; Apples; Some hints of honey; Slight smokiness; Flutter of petrol; Smoothly integrated and acid in balance Overall: Excellent wine – slightly stronger than wine #1 Would suggest pairing with stronger foods such as grilled salmon. (92+ pts.)

New Yorkers welcome Jason Goldberger to the hood. (Suzanne & Kenny's): In comparison to the '93, this was a bit of a dog. It's a darker yellow and is a much more advanced wine, showing a lightly oxidized and nutty profile with roasted orange citrus. B-.

judgment of chicago-chard style (LFF's place, chicago IL): real dark golden color
nose: real interesting nose with lots of marzipan, smokeyness, and a bit of green apple to it
taste: very weighted feel with a bit of honey, caramel, green apple with some smokeyness and some marzipan
overall: really long finish and good structure to this. Almost tasted Sauternes like and was very interesting in this blind line up
