As previously posted we attended a dinner party at a friends house on Saturday and this particular mate is a fellow wine geek so I was looking forward to a selection of vinous delights as is usual at his do's.
He didn't disappoint, we started with a delicious Napa valley red and then went onto this Napa Chardonnay, which for me, was the stand out of the evening. Absolutely typical of the region and style, fresh, smooth with a wonderful acidity and buttery/toasty notes from the new American oak it was aged in. I bought along a 1989 semi-sweet Vouvray from Huet (see picture below) it was on great form at 35 years old, and everyone really enjoyed it with the cheese course, great wine, great company and a brilliant evening.
