other monday tasting

Two other wines that came in with different reps. One from Saintsbury Brown Ranch Chardonnay 05 Saintsbury is known for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. One of the first wineries to explore the potential of Carneros for those grapes. Brown Ranch is a single vineyard that they use.. This wine is so typical California its surprising its from a cool area. lots of malolactic fermentation and not heavy handed in its oak. the finish was a little short for me though.


Domaine des Chazzelles Vire-Clesse region of Macon in Burgundy. 2005 A great year for Burgundy, white and red. This wine though leaves a bit to be desired in both approach and finish. It wants to be fruity but isnt and wants to leave refreshing on the finish but it disappears. Maconnaise wine is a good bargain for Burgundy but there are better.


Please check out the 05 Burgundies that we have brought in for the holidays
