2008 Melville Chardonnay
I'm finally starting to feel better (broken ribs heal slowly) so I
went out yesterday to the local marketplace and found fresh halibut and English peas and a nice seafood terrine (where does one grow English peas this time of year?) I seared and pan roasted the halibut and made a buerre blanc sauce with the peas. Opened a bottle of 2008 Melville Santa Rita Hills Estate Chardonnay. Great QPR at $22. Focused citrus peel, a hint of lemon and and a bit of orange. Nice acidity and mionerality with no oak. "B+/A-" |

And really glad the ribs are healing! |

Right at $22 in Ohio you can probably find it at under $20 in NY. Probably my favorite Cal Chardonnay right now. |
