*Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from the winery. For dinner tonight we tried the 2007 J. Keverson Starkey’s Court Chardonnay. It had a real cork closure and clocked in at 14.2% alcohol by volume. I see that the current vintage is the 2008, retailing for $32. I’ve heard great things about the [...]

2008 Rodney Strong Reserve Chardonnay I had this last week at the Rootstock Festival and really enjoyed it. It’s a RRV Chardonnay that has a nice handle on its oak and acidity balance. A lot spice and a little cream on the nose with lovely pear and apple on the palate. This particular wine is [...]

I’m still digging back in the archives to catch up on wines I never got around to telling you about when my posting slowed down last year.

Thankfully, that is not at all the case with the 2008 Rodney Strong Chalk Hill Chardonnay, which displays all the fruit that makes a lovely Chardonnay and [...]

Disclaimer: I received this wine as a sample from F. Wildman. Matt seemed in the mood for a Chardonnay the other night. Not terribly common around these parts, but hey, strike while the striking is hot since so many folks send Chardonnay our way, they tend to pile up just a bit. I really need [...]
