Beaulieu Vineyard Chardonnay 2005
26 Apr 2009Place: California Price: $16.99 Aroma: Forest, Lemon, Grass Color: Green Gold Taste: Sour Flavors Detected: Mineral, Stemmy This was not a successful wine for us. It had none of the citrus, oak, pear, or vanilla that’s commonly found in chardonnays, which would be fine if what it had actually tasted good. The pee color was also particularly unappealing along with its [...]

Tyrell’s Wines Chardonnay 2006
In: Australia|Chardonnay|White
28 Mar 2009Place: Australia Price: $12 Aroma: Peach Color: Pale Yellow Taste: Light, Refreshing Flavors Detected: Hay, Minerals This is not a very fruity chardonnay.

Louis Latour Pouilly Fuisse 2005
In: Chardonnay|France|White
10 Jan 2009Place: France Price: $24.99 Aroma: Grass, Peaches Color: Straw Yellow Taste: Light, Acidic, Dry Flavors Detected: Pear This had the acidic fruit taste of a semillion without the zing. It was a pretty disappointing wine for having such a fancily scripted label. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t very good either. Just average.
