Hello all!
It's Friday eveing in foggy Frisco. It's been tremendous! Monday was my last day in wine country and it started in grand style with a trip up a windy mountain road to Chappellet· This 44 year old winery runs completely on solar power and produces some of the best wines in the region. Of exceptional note was the chenin blanc with its deep stone fruit flavors, its delicate honeysuckle nose and crisp acidity. And knowing their excellence for reds i bought the cabernet franc without even tasting it! The day ended at Domaine Chandon with what else but bubbles? While all of their offerings are well done i was especially impressed with the pinot noir rose reserve. Just ripe strawberries meet toast and a hint of dark cherry-delicious!
It was the best end to my adventures in wine country possible!
Cheers!
Dee
