Flying Dutchman Winery

Tonight, I opened a bottle of 1997 Flying Dutchman Chardonay with my wife's Beef Stroganof. This made a very enjoyable combination.

This, I believe, was the first release year for the new Flying Dutchman Winery. They get their grapes from the Stangeland Vineyards near Portland, OR and their winemaker is studying under Stangeland's winemaster. They vint(if thats the correct word) pinot noir and chardonay and will be releasing their first pinot gris this year.

The chardonay had a light, fruity aroma and has a medium body. It has a very light, buttery finish to it. It was a very nice wine for such a new winery.
