Wine Wednesday: Clos du Bois Chardonnay

The other day while shopping with my wife, I hit the wine aisle. When I returned to the cart with a bottle of Chardonnay. My wife looked disapprovingly at my selection and said, "Why don't you ever get a bottle of Clos du Bois?"

I promptly turned around and returned with a bottle of Clos du Bois Chardonnay. This made my wife happy. And that made me happy!
We had this 2007 Chardonnay the next night. And I had nothing to complain about.

The Clos du Bois isn't too heavy or too light. It's got a faint hint of oak, and a subtle creamy-ness that is off-set by a slightly acidic finish. It only served to compliment our grilled salmon, and did not overwhelm any of the subtle flavors of our meal.

This California grown Chardonnay isn't the greatest I've had, but it's certainly not the worst. It's a good consistent wine and one that I'll always be glad to have.

Rating: 3/5

Price: $$ (about $15)
