2013 Hendry Chardonnay

Hendry 2013 unoaked chardonnay

This didn’t get opened at Mom’s 66th birthday last night.

Unoaked, the taste is in the front of your mouth and on the top of your tongue.  It is very balanced, so much that you marvel at it a little.  Tropical fruit mixed up in a pile of minerals.  Medium acid.  Clean.  It would be good with vegetable pasta.  Happy Birthday Mom.

First I cook the tomatoes in their own juices. This was when I took them off, after about thirty minutes.

garlic and tomato

Pass the tomatoes through a food mill to get rid of most of the skins.  Fry the garlic, add the tomatoes and other ingredients .  Cook on low for an hour and a half.  I let it cool and freeze it in deli pint jars.

They are organic early girls.  They were a dollar a pound at the market, I asked the guy if he’d take five bucks for ten pounds of ones that were soft or split, but no mold, and he agreed.  I made this the day after.
