Staged a Chardonnay tasting for daughter with price and region being topics. Class act of the group. Blew '98 Bonneau du Martray Corton-Charlemagne out of the water (at 1/3 the price). Light on its feet but packed with flavor. Very Burgundian. Kudos to Ric.

Power and restraint, edgy, minerally with lovely apple and pears. Fantastic!

Absolutely spectacular and went so incredibly well with the Coquilles St. Jacques. Fabulous wine that won over those who hate Cali Chards.

The 11 vintage served this #wine well, classic chardonnay, a bit of minerality with some oak, lemon & apple #harvestpartyunderaharvestmoon
