Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

Chardonnay Reserve - 2008; Los Pinos Ranch Vineyard; Pittsburg, Texas
What a great color for this aged white. It's always nice when these older white wines
turn out well in color and in taste . This Chardonnay from Los Pinos greets you
with the scent of tropical fruit, citrus and lime. This big white is dry with defined oaky
character. There are strong flavors of vanilla with some butteriness. There is
a distinct flavor profile that tastes like chardonnay aged in whiskey barrels,
which is very nice. It's sophisticated enough for sipping, pairs beautifully
with cheeses, yet is also quite delightful at the dinner table. Raise a glass for this one and enjoy!
