TN: '96 Sterling Chardonnay

[Van The Man]

Randy -

Hmmmmm, okay, yes, it tasted good, but it was a VERY poor match with my food which was lobster and schrod sauteed in butter, wine, garlic, shallot and shitake mushroom and then served on a bed of angel hair pasta. The wine just, as I've said, reached out, screamed "here I am you SOB and to he77 with your food, I'm the center of attention and no, I don't want to share the stage." (Did that make sense? <g> )

It was too much wine for the food.....and that's a huge bitch I have with the style.

In another post you mentioned something about haveing wine by itself....I thik that's about the only way to really appreciate a Cal Chard.....and I really spend the majority of my time making a match, food and wine......
