  May 24, 2019 - Theme was Australia or New Zealand, blind. Blind was kind of silly, our group really doesn’t know these wines. And they were all surprisingly good. We had a concentration of wines from Margaret River (both of ours were, from our cellar, and I had suggested that region to another member, who was shopping for this week). This had good acidity, more than a typical French Chard. Light gold color, citrus dominated the nose. Most guessed Chardonnay, that was the flavor profile. Long finish.

  May 27, 2018 - Light golden color. Pineapple dominated the nose, with a bit of citrus. Palate was not as round as we had expected, this is Chardonnay, and not a Chablis. Very distinctive flavors, a bit of oak, but not dominant or unpleasant. Some mango, citrus and spice mixed in with pears. Long, pleasant finish. Got better with a bit of air. Paired with grilled halibut, I liked the pairing better than Rosalie - she wanted rounder. Interesting wine.
  
  Day 2: much more integrated, especially the oak. Rounder, less acidic. Up at least a couple of points. Paired with grilled shrimp and pineapple, wonderful.
