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.

Remanfredi Bianco Basilicata Vendemmia 2009

basilicata

The two of us kicked the bottle in no time, before the apps were done.  Tending towards orange in color.  Dense.  We ate it with some cheese, two blues, a midnight moon, honeybee gouda, a mature tangy goat.  One of the blue cheeses was very blue and the other was creamy.  The very blue one brought out bitterness in the wine, overwhelming it.  Tasted best with the creamy goat.  Fruit and Mineral.  Thick.  Very enjoyable.   The Wine Club, $18.
