Looking for a classic white burgundy made with restraint? This one is for you. Bright acidity, honeysuckle, pollen, bit of oaky vanilla. All the good Chardonnay comforts are here. — 9 years ago

Nice IPA from the Perth area. Crisp and refreshing with a nice balance of hops, bitterness and citrus. These IPAs are not as plentiful here so I do look forward to the ‘comforts’ of home. — 7 years ago

Trombetta Family Wines

Gap's Crown Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

The wine has a rich, golden hue and shows an absolutely gorgeous oak effect, just enough to put me in mind of classic California Chardonnay. There is tropical fruit, lemon chess pie and caramel in the whiff as well. The palate is where the old world comes into play. The acidity is right on the money, and only a slight touch of vanilla comforts the apples, pineapple and citrus flavors. The wine is very well balanced and shows great weight, the result of malolactic fermentation which occurred in the barrels and aging on the lees - the spent yeast cells. Eight months of aging in French oak was just right. About a third of that oak was new, the rest neutral. Could be the best Chardonnay I've had. — 9 years ago

François Mikulski

Charmes Meursault 1er Cru Chardonnay 2010

2010. Strict lemony acid, fresh stony bite with the tiniest hint of honey and green banana. Lovely wine which comforts me in my affection for Mikulski's higher end whites, and I'll age my last bottle a couple more years to see if it adds a honeyed heft of the midpalate... but no regrets today. — 9 years ago

Love the elegance of this wine with all the modern comforts of fruit and oak. Elegance can be sexy and this wine does it. Of course dark fruit, fresh plum, lovely tobacco and hidden exotic spices from the oak. Superbly long and enticing finish. Buy it. — 11 years ago
