Monday, June 21, 2010 - Not that anyone should have noticed - but I have taken an extended leave from writing wine reviews. (I will admit that a vanity on my part admits it would have been nice if someone had noticed, but that has no bearing on the actual absence.) I would like to say that there was some deep significance to my absence, that I was off on exploration of the anosognosic’s dilemma. But, the reality is far more mundane - circumstances just got in the way. Hopefully the desire has been rekindled to both keep track of the cellar (which is a mess) and to report on the wines I drink.
I find it ironic that the bottle I selected for my return review was flawed. Not horrible flawed, but just not what a Windy Oak Chardonnay should taste like. Just as with the last bottle I tried, the cork came out hard and dried. The wine was not undrinkable, it did have all the usual Windy Oak characteristics, it was just slightly oxidized and sour. I drank half the bottle anyway. A somewhat off bottle of Windy Oak is still a pretty nice bottle of wine.
