Gary's Wine Club July 2009 Vintner Selection: 2007 Ten Lakes Chardonnay




2007 Ten Lakes Chardonnay
Grape variety: Chardonnay
Region: Sonoma County, California
Food pairing: New England Lobster Roll

For this month's Vintner Club, it's all about Sonoma: and for good reason. While the 2007 vintage has been touted for Cabernet in Napa Valley and for Syrah and Grenache in the Rhone Valley, we're also discovering that the 2007 vintage has been phenominally kind to Sonoma County, particularly where their two leading varietals, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, are concerned.

Ten Lakes Chardonnay has become a go-to wine for us, and has proven itself with repeat customers who love its food-friendly and easy-drinking flavors of crisp apple, peach, and subtle vanilla oak, Lightly chill a bottle to serve along-side New England lobster rolls for a positively All-American picnic.
