Biltmore Estate Chardonnay

[tandkvd]

I don't know what has changed? Maby my taste for wine has broadened or maby it was a good food match. But I didn't expect to like this wine. The last Chardonnay I've had was when I first started drinking wine, and I thought it was awfull!

Tonight I prepared some chicken brest, dipped in butter then rolled in a mixture of bread crumbs, Emerals Essence, Italian seasonings, salt and pepper. Then baked in the oven. Had it with broclie and cheese.

I'm shure the butter and chicken helped the flavor match. But the wine was very good. I'm trying to pick out the flavors. Definatly some oak but not too much, pears and a rich flavor(mabey butter but a little different).

The bottle said American Chardonnay Sur Lies. Have you had this wine WOW? What do you think? I know there are better Chardonnays out there, but I got this free. And was needing a cheap wine for a thursday night.
