I was able to attend another Wednesday Wine Committee this week and it did not disappoint (they never do). As normal, all wines are tasted blind (1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds, 1 dessert).

I pegged this for a Chardonnay, but it definitely evolved towards the end of the meal. Light to medium acid and the malo seemed low, but it was hard to come to a decision. Most guessed west coast Chardonnay.

Delicious. Swear there was a hint of pumpkin, or maybe that was the turkey cooking in oven.
