Here we go with another wine review.
The meal: Boneless chicken breast stuffed with a spicy Spanish sausage, spinach, onions and Romano cheese; served with a Spanish yellow rice with peppers.
The Wine: Barefoot Cellars ChardonnayCountry: USA
Region: California
Vintage: 2005
Price: $6.99
Tasting Notes:
The Color: Straw Yellow
The Nose: The moment you pull the cork, scents of peach and citrus jump out. The fruit on the nose is almost overwhelming, and a very slight oakyness.
The Taste: As the nose led me to believe, the fruit just jumps right from the start. Intense flavors of peach and apple dance around, with a very slight citrus tartness. The finish is very smooth and pretty creamy with notes of vanilla and oak. Overall, this is not a bad wine for the price. I wanted to pair something on the fruity side with our spicy meal, and I think it worked out pretty well. I will say though that this wine is a fruit bomb, so if you don't enjoy a lighter white with a lot of fruit notes, then this wine is not for you. Sauvignon Blanc drinkers should give it a try though...it's not dry like a Sauv Blanc, but the fruit and buttery finish will likely please you.
The Verdict: 7 corks

that seems to be the problem with Chardonnays, too much other fruit. Does the grape lack such a strong flavor that it can't support itself?
Cool post you got here. It would be great to read a bit more about this matter. Thanx for sharing that data.
