Chloe Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2021
Well presented nose of lanolin, beeswax and guava. Palate is quite dense and viscous. Moderate acidity leads into a delicately sweet, long finish. Understated, yet complete and integrated. Drink now or hold for a few years…
In terms of the bottle price, this wine is excellent. — 6 months ago

I’ll buy more if the winery lets me. It’s the old story which I loathe: Join the club and access these…
Yeah I am off almost every list now. Not sure what the mailing list price was for these but K&L has them now. I’ve found most of my mailing list wines there, the same vineyards and no min required. I kinda flipped on one list when I saw the same bottle, no min, since I’m close no shipping charge, a materially lower price and available earlier than it was to the list by months? Super unclear why I was paying and waiting for it. I’m sure there are some where it makes sense but it’s fewer and fewer.
@Norman Gennaro, I’m with you. There’s no wine strong enough for me to do that club shit - no wine. As you remarked, plenty of great wines on the secondary market. I already have 1K plus bottles in my cellar. It’s a crime scene already. I have no club memberships and never will have.

It was nice but the Marcassin outshone it. — 12 days ago
