price tag: $13

verdict: 3.5 / 5

I took a week off.

This is my reason (I blame her):

This little lady has taken every minute of my time this week. I did not realize how much work a puppy is. I feel like I have a child. I forgot that 5:00 in the morning existed. I never knew how much I appreciated silence. I never knew how much I appreciated WINE.
This was my first bottle of relaxation after my monster's homecoming. ONE WEEK LATER. She's the cutest thing in the world though! I love her just about as much as wine (I might love her more).
Soooo ... This bottle of wine was especially delicious. I have been learning a bit about Burgundy lately, so this 100% Chardonnay from Macon-Villages in Burgundy was very appropriate. I usually like my Chardonnay oaked, but this was unoaked and I thought it was fantastic. It was well balanced and very lively. I downed two glasses before our cook-out even began.

makes me think of: playtime

I was really excited about this wine ... and after ... slightly disappointed. Not enough oak for me. Anyways, my other half and I tie-dyed Easter eggs (check out this incredible project) and cooked up some lemon butter tortellini. It sure felt like spring!

makes me think of: lemon trees

... and here's our gorgeous eggies ...
