I just received a large order of wine from Wine Library that I am extremely excited about. Here is a link to my "cellar". By cellar I mean the few shelves in my kitchen cupboards reservered for the wine.
But anyway, moving onto the wine. One of the wines I picked up is the 2006 Hundred Tree Hill Chardonnay from Australia. I should have known to read the couple of reviews on CellarTracker first, but I completely relied on WLTV's review. It was a decent wine, but not worth the $16.99 I payed for it.
I thought it had a little butteriness, zero oak (which is fine), a little acidity but all in all was somewhat boring. I bought 2 bottles so I probably keep the other 1 for a year and see what happens next summer. This is just for giggles mind you. I've never cellared a wine before so it will all be part of the grand experiment and I wouldn't want to try this experiment with an expensive wine.
I think next I'll open up the 2007 Foris Pinot from Oregon. All the reviewers say this is dynamite for the price, only $13.98!
Enjoy!
