oh what a day, sunny, hot and humid. air so thick you can cut it with a knife. i am pleasantly distracted from work by my cousin acacia asking me if i wanted to share a chilled bottle of her namesake winery's acacia chardonnay (she is not connected at all to acacia winery. they have no idea who she is.)
how could i say no? the only question that came to our minds was whether or not we would brave the heat and sit outside on the deck or retreat to an air conditioned room. we chose the latter. smart girls.
acacia 2003 chardonnay, carneros region of california was creamy, fruit-forward with a tamed taste of the oak barrel that lends it some maturity. most importantly, it was fun. it was delicious. and it took the sting off of a hot summer day.
not sure how much this particular bottle costs, but knowing a bit about acacia, it probably runs about $20 on average.
check it out, any vintage.
and yes,
don't be afraid to tilt the glass.
Stumble It!
