Bridgeview Blue Moon Chardonnay (2001)

This is a Chardonnay from Oregon. It sucks. Do not drink it. In fact, I wonder if the ten dollar price tag on something that has been sitting around so long was actually a warning.

If you need more information on how it tastes I will sum it up in simple terms: It tastes like making out with a drunken oak tree. Pour some vodka on a stump and lock lips. It has a nutty finish and a melon nose, but it really just tastes like wood.

SHAME!

Columbia Winery Gewurztraminer (2001)

This was a random find at one of the local liquor stores, USD 8.99 at Lakeridge Liquors in St. Paul, MN.

The nose smelled distinctly like lychees and wildflowers. The body once again exuded lychee with sweetness from honey. The sweetness was balanced out by just the slightest bit of acid. There was also a bit of pear and mingled spices in the body. The finish was short and unremarkable.

I probably wouldn't buy this again for the price, but I wasn't disappointed by it either.
