A friend of mine sent me a text while having dinner at a restaurant in Florida last evening (I live in California.) She was asking me to help her choose a bottle of wine - not much unusual in that, however, she took photos of the wine menu and sent them as well so I could actually peruse the wine list! It was fun reading through all the wines and helping her choose but a few minutes after we finished conversing it suddenly hit me that no one was going to be bringing me a taste of that wine!
So...I pulled a bottle we had tasted in class yesterday and poured a little. Showing the fat and sassy side of white wines, we studied oaked Chardonnays and White Bordeaux. Quite pleased with Barons De Rothschild (Lafite) Selection Prestige AOC Bordeaux 2009 -- round in the mouth, nutty on the palate. Not quite the red Bordeaux my friend was enjoying but it certainly worked for me!
