Today’s wine review is a white wine from the Washington region (gasp!). I bet you thought I only drank red. Well that’s not true, my friend. Think of me as a swinger of the wine world- I have most definitely pledged my love to red, but a little white here and there keeps things exciting. *note- we are not swingers, so you and your husband keep that kookiness at your house.
2010 Columbia Valley Grand Estates Chardonnay – $12.99
Wine Makers’s Notes: “The Grand Estates Chardonnay opens with bright fruit aromas of apple and pear which harmonize gracefully with signature notes of caramelized sugar and butterscotch. Ripe fruit flavors are bolstered by lively acidity, yet balanced deftly with a subtle creaminess. The striking combination of rich flavors, ample body and refreshing finish make this wine a natural pairing for a wide array of foods.”
Wine Spectator Notes: “Polished, lively and refined, with pretty white peach, floral and oatmeal notes that come together smoothly and linger on the finish. Drink now through 2015.” 89 Points.
Kim’s Notes: “Burrrrrrp”
This stuff is easy to guzzle, creating air bubbles in my belly! nom nom nom…
Ok, my review…It opens with a slight crispness of pear and pineapple but ends with a subtle warmness, almost like the pears have been tossed in butter and the pineapples were used by cute little squirrels to polish their oak tree homes to a nice shine. Yeah, exactly like that.
and that’s how “Bust-A-Nut” Winery was born.
I have to agree with the winemaker, this wine pairs well with quite an array of foods. So far I’ve tried it with cereal, Fig Newtons, chocolate chips from the bag, sour cream & onion chips, and those little mints they serve at my car dealership… all delish!
This wine is perfect to drink at brunches, play dates, prior to dental appointments, therapy appointments, etc. To be honest, it’s really ideal for any daytime drinking situation.
Buy some and drink it today…no really today…before 5pm.
