  Monthly tasting club LTC; No real theme, Fully blind challenge. (By me @ LWH): Ripe yellow fruits, butter, creamy, full bodied and a bit fat, some polishing wax and a touch of oak. Some spiciness as well. Ok acidity.

  I needed a wine tonight that I really didn't need to think about too much. This one fits the bill pretty well. It seems to strike a decent balance between citrusy/fruity with some definite oak, but not too much. It's a bit buttery, but not too much. A very decent lower-priced CA Chard.

  This wine exudes the classic marker of a California Chardonnay with green apples, lemons and toasty oak aromas, medium mouthfeel, and creamy medium-long buttery finish. Well-executed and not overwhelming woody or nutty. Nice pairing with lobster, salmon, or buttery clams; especially at this modest price.

  Not my preferred style. Quite fruity and bright, while I prefer buttery and oakey

  (opened 48 hours ago) - color: pale yellow; nose: nada; taste: light-bodied mouth feel, light apple-pear fruit taste, short slightly crisp apple finish with citrus-infused tannins; overall: no defects, but too wispy and ephemeral for my taste -- which tends towards more body and personality -- but it might be a nice sipping wine, better on Day #2
