2004 ZD Chardonnay

As part of my new resolution to begin remembering the names of wines that I've tried, I thought I'd make a concerted effort to blog as many of them as I can. So yes, this is more for me than for you. But especially since so many of them are drunk in the comfort of a suburban abode that now features our own wireless connection, it's easy to remember what I've drunk! And yes, we drink on weeknights. But don't worry - not alone. WE drink together on weeknights. I love our house.

So tonight was a yuuummmy Chardonnay from ZD. Courtesy of our in-house wine connoisseur, sammyw. On a side note, I love ZD. I think the label's pretty. And I had a great tasting there the first time I went. The second time I went back wasn't as much fun, but I'd still give them another chance.

OK, so please bear with my gushy descriptions of wines. It just helps me remember.

I thought the ZD was sweet and rich and velvety. The taste and smell literally blooms in your mouth. I have no idea what the heck it smells like or what the heck the undertones are. But it makes me think apples and roses. Definitely apples. I had rose-apples in Hawaii once. The best part about it though is that it's luxuriously smooth. I think that's because it's "minerally." I like minerally. :)

Some interesting tidbits from the Oxford Wine Companion:
- No interesting tidbits.
- The entry under Chardonnay was all history. Hrmph
- It's a cool book, kinda dry tho.
