Wine: Grgich Hills
2005 Chardonnay, Napa Valley, CA Estate
Alcohol Content: 14.3%
Price: $35
Pair With: A fresh arugula salad with a pear, blue cheese and apricot vinaigrette and a beautiful apple-brandy grilled pork loin.
Sometimes the predictable is
very much unappreciated, and Grgich Hills Chardonnay has long been an appreciated
and predictable mainstay in
Risqué's glorious
wine cellar. In the world of wine there
is some good wine and a lot of bad.
Risqué would never fear opening a bottle of Grgich Chardonnay
and sharing it with his lushes.
This non-malolactic favorite has
a nice nose of Meyer lemon, newly blooming honeysuckle, a hint of acacia, and a
finale of French oak. Wonderfully
balanced and arousing in the mouth, the fruity endowed flavors exude green
apples, pear, juicy peach and spice all with a long, long lemony finish.
All of Risqué's LUSHES are happy LUSHES!
