Monthly WTF wine group tasting. This month’s theme was chardonnay from any region or vintage. Nice eclectic bunch! All wines tasted blind.

Winner of the “biggest imitator”. This was very ripe, as though the wine was meant to be made a certain way. I think the entire group called this new world. Good bit of oak in play here, alongside melon, apple crumble pie, and hardly any acidity. Typical baking spice notes of nutmeg and vanilla too. May be starting to oxidize a bit, which probably gives this some complexity. Thanks @Michael Rariden . — 5 years ago

At first, cassis and cherry shine on the expressive and generous nose. But soon lovely notes of treebark, licorice, forestfloor and grilled bell-pepper add in.
Slightly slender and feminine on the mid-palate, this wine could use some more flesh and stuffing.
Wine definately scores on the nose! — 8 years ago

Delicious with BBQ flank steak- bits of charred steak really brought out the sweetness of this Pinot. Delish! — 9 years ago

1983. Needed an hour or more but then it had beautiful leather, bell pepper, and earth. The brett was pretty manageable too. — 10 years ago

A full bodied, smooth big red. Fruit aromas, layered with taste of currants, black wild cherries, hint of oak and tobacco leafs long muted tannins legs. One of the Okanagan’s best. Cheers 🍷🇨🇦 — 7 years ago

For the price point, this Big Dog can definitely hunt! Soft pepper and smooth tannins, slight black cherry make this a winner with Ferrero Rocher and House of Lies. — 10 years ago

Lovely. Some odd odors during the first hour after opening- blue cheese and cabbage.

Good color, smooth, soft, rounded and light tannins.

Cork was a complete mess- took about 5 to ten minutes to clean out.

Mushrooms, bell peppers, cedar and cherries. Delicious with dinner of filet and lobster, asparagus and potatoes. — 6 years ago

This bone-dry Michigan Riesling is a mineral-driven wine. Light golden in color, it has a nose of citrus peel and a wet driveway. The aromas aren't terribly complex, but as Spencer Tracy said, “What’s there is cherce.” On the palate there are flavors of lemon and lime with a chalky minerality. Acidity is almost racy, certainly zippy enough to handle a sandwich or salad. The finish is lengthy and reminiscent of an older vintage Riesling, quite nice. — 6 years ago

Dark ruby red with a purplish hue. Good dark fruits on the nose with some forest floor and truffles. Light bell peppers in the finish. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Lots of soft dark fruits and damp leaves. Medium plus finish. Great restaurant wine and solid Sonoma Cabernet. Drink till 2022. — 9 years ago
