Well..we didn’t catch one of the bottles. Last night we opened the Tolosa 2003 Edna Valley, Edna Ranch Chardonnay. It had just turned. How do you know when a bottle of Chardonnay turns…it’s like drinking nuts. You can’t smell or taste any fruit. The wine is very nutty. We were bummed!! We had purchased that wine when we went to the winery in January of 2006. I remember, it was the first winery of the day. The Chardonnay was wonderful, nice butter on the finish.
That taught us to always drink the white wine the year we receive it. White wine doesn’t age like Red!
