Stare Upon Our Wines
All that aside... wine drinkers are a rare breed, aren't they? On the one hand, they enjoy the taste and flavors of a variety of wines. On the other hand, they generally despise the taste and flavors of an entirely different variety of wines. How can you keep the two lists apart? How can you make ALL wine drinkers happy?
Pffft. That pipe dream will never happen. The closest we can get is an endless parade of wine. Hopefully, something you like will show up before you storm off in anger, cursing our name and demanding that we're pressed into service with the consortium of Wine Pirates that secretly sale the Nine Seas.
Oh, you didn't know about the two secret seas? Gee. Forget we said anything about them, then. Guess they're only for the COOL people.
Features
2003 WineSmith Napa Valley Chardonnay, Student Vineyard Napa Valley College 750ml 2-Pack
Bright straw-green color, shocking for a wine of this age. Well-bloomed champagne-like sur-lees yeastiness and classic lemon oil of ripe cool climate chardonnay. The mouth is plump and structured but finishes with lively mineral energy. When most people taste this wine, they think it’s pretty high acid, and it is indeed quite lively and palate-cleansing, great with seafood. But that’s not acidity, it’s minerality, and whatever it is, it sure makes wines age a long time.
