On arrival in Marco Island I went to the seafood shop on the dock and
bought some Gulf pink shrimp to poach and a whole Lane Snapper to
grill. I had a few bottles in the wine cooler so I popped a 2007
Ferrari Carano Chardonnay. Nice lemony zing, very little if any wood
was noticed and the wine finished with a clean acidic burst. "B-"

with dinner I opened a 2006 Flowers Sonoma Coast Chardonnay-ripe pears
on the nose. A bit flabby on the palate. Rich fruit but not much
acidity until the very end. Peachy soft and a little buttery. "B-/C+"
