2008 Clos LaChance Liebeler Vineyard Chardonnay – Santa Cruz

This single vineyard Chardonnay shows clear effect of the 40% new French oak, but wood complements rather than overwhelms. Pear, apple, honeydew melon and some tart pineapple are joined by caramel, smoke, and a surprising kick of white pepper. This would be a perfect pairing with Flounder Francese with Toasted Almonds, Lemon and Capers.

   All I can say is keep it up. Some professional bloggers post three or four times a day on their blogs, simply because this consistent addition of new content helps the theifs to get regular readers.
