2013 Aubert "Sugar Shack" Chardonnay. 15% alcohol. Ever had a Crème Brûlée prepared by Chef Charlie Trotter? Well, I have, as part of a meal prepared for me at Chef's Kitchen Table. Still the best meal, and restaurant evening of my life. Etched indelibly in my memory. That night, I poured and shared with Charlie a bottle of Sine Qua Non "The Bride." Opened with several other SQN's, but my only bottle of The Bride. And I remember how much we enjoyed it, and dissected it and just lived that evening. A moment in time. Impossible to comprehend and fully appreciate at the time, but a cherished memory down the road of life. Well, this wine brought me back to that evening many years ago. That's the cool thing about wine for me. The memories it can evoke. Sort of like a song can take you back, a wine can help you time travel. This beautiful golden wine also has notes of buttered popcorn and almonds on the nose, along with honeysuckle, apricot and peach marmalade and crushed white flowers. Incredibly rich on the palate. Opulent. Viscous. Powerful. Long, lingering finish. Only comparison for me, 2001 Cochran-Drury Corton-Charlemagne. Thanks for the memories @Aubert Wines — 7 years ago
