Needed something cheap and chilled today. I enjoyed this maker's PN, their Cab was so so, and this is so so. Tastes like chardonnay, very round, acidity is zilch. But it's refreshing on a balmy Friday.

It feels really nice to be back home with my pretty little wife. Brandon is good company, but he's not much of a kisser.
This wine is light and lively, though inky dark purple. Strawberry aromatics, strawberry and plum flavors. A little fizzy sensation on the tongue.

Sea-Sun Vineyard

California Chardonnay 2022

Dave

8.9

This isn't so bad. Lemon curd, bitter melon, some minerality. A little acidic zing- i prefer chardonnay to be softer. But, it would do just fine with your usual seafood choices. $17.

Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Dave

8.8

Are any of my Napa experts familiar with this maker? I've never seen it before. Very soft, with blackberries and oodles of vanilla. Big oak influence, medium tannins, but I don't think this can age for a long time.

La Côte des Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Dave

8.9

Last had this 10 months ago. I think it's on the decline since then. Grapefruit, melon, citrus. Lacking acidity, it's a bit flabby. That's not what I remember in the last bottle. Anyway, it's nice with some fresh caught walleye.

Seems logical. Haven’t had this one unfortunately but 18s there were mostly too ripe and fleshy to age. But many were fun in their youth! Walleye! Think I’ve had that only once (had to give a presentation in Sturgeon Bay) a few years ago.

I guess I've had this once before. A little bit different style PN. Tannic, savory.

It's 93 degrees outside so let's have a chilled white. This is just great. A little too old but nice after pulling weeds. Citrus, pineapple, minerality but the acidity is about gone.

@Dave, naw, we’re getting a weird pre-summer weather break here — it’ll be 98+ by next Tuesday!!
