I had read that the Chalone Vineyard had the best Chardonnay bargain out there. Why not try the Pinot Noir? I smell smoke and tobacco. The wine has raspberry flavors, is slightly oaked and has a soft texture - almost velvety. Of the 4 Pinot's I'm currently sampling, I may like this one the best. Stay tuned on that. Mrs. Vino says, "very smooth, I like it." We pair it up with a Shrimp, Orzo and feta cheese recipe that Mrs. Vino has stewing in her new convection oven. A more robust Italian wine would have been a better choice. The sommelier will try to remember. Perhaps Mrs. Vino should start a cooking blog. She knows more about cookin' than I know about wine! Anyway, this is still one wine I'll look for and a good Pinot Noir at $15 would always represent a solid value.
