WHAT: Laurent Miquel Pere et Fils Chardonnay 2010 (white) Rating: NNN
WHERE: Languedoc, France
THE DAMAGE: $12.35, LCBO #157909
THE NOTES: Toasty, verging on popcorn, oaky bouquet dominates, which is too bad, because there’s lots of vibrant fruit action underneath. All is redeemed by a long, citrusy finish.
THE SCENE: Anybody at a country club now? Okay, the rest of us can just imagine. Cue sound: sprinkler hiss, pool splashes, etc. “Waiter, shrimps go here, and another glass, please. Where were we? Ri-i-ight – she’s so full of Botox, I’m surprised it’s not squirting out of her tear ducts.”
