Weekly Wednesday Wine Committee lunch...always such a treat to attend. This week, Dan hosted. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All blind as usual.
Gosh...I think these Marcassin chards (and pinots) are probably desert island wines. I went back and forth between CdP white or a Chardonnay...I ultimately ended on Chardonnay and said if this is west coast, it could only be Marcassin. Quite a bit of sulfur here to go alongside a rich, butterscotch nose and a full-bodied palate showing smoked hazelnut notes.

Stunning opener for lunch! Crabcakes and Scallops... Wonderful Califonia Chard , not clocking at 14.1% alcohol at all... Had previously had 2009 and the alcohol overwhelm the experience ...super power for lunch, very lucky

Not the monster I imagined it would be. Definitely in its drinking window.
