What Are You Drinking?

“The 2000 Talley Estate Chardonnay. It’s a small winery and doing a fantastic job. I like the richness of it, the balance of the fruit and the oak--it doesn’t have too much oak or malolactic fermentation--and the nice creamy texture. [It has] lots of ripe honeydew melon or peaches, those flavors. Sometimes Chardonnays get heavy-handed and too big.”
