  Friday, March 05, 2004 Chardonnay, the kudzu of the 21st century. Even in Va. you cannot travel very far without tripping over a trellising of the stuff. A gathering of the curious, the enthusiastic and the thirsty agreed to swill some Va. wine and help determine what we billed as the best of the best, i.e. the best Va. Chardonnay from reportedly the best Va. vintage ever. Stand’n up food of pave de charic (sp?) and some other Frenchie cow cheese, crab cheesecake, prosciuto wrapped pears, cashews, smoked almonds, sesame crusted salmon and tuna with orange sesame sauce. The wines are listed alphabetically with my comments first and some of the comments of others noted after that. Parenthetical comments are my reactions to what others wrote on their notes Louis Latour Pouilly-Fuisse 2000 Earth and no finesse, thin, bitter, nutty with a short finish. This should have told me it was the Latour, but alas, I didn’t properly apply what I know. Other comments: nice oak, good wine; younger, clear, clean, thin flavors/thin body; very light crisp with light citrus; flat watery and weak (this from the oak hog of the crowd); flowery, tart; somewhat flat, ’just there’.
