Château des Charmes - Chardonnay

Origin: Ontario
Price: $13.95
Vintage: 2007
Date drunk: October 2nd, 2009



g.: It's very warm and toasty. I should be drinking this by a Christmasy fire in a fireplace. Or a campfire on a beach while I have sand in my underwear. Whatever.

d.: It's kind of skunky.

g.: Yeah, I feel that on the second sip.

d.: But if the skunk lived in the land of milk and honey. It's ambrosially gross.

g.: That's not where I thought you were going with that.

d.: It's like good and gross at the same time.

g.: I can drink this, for sure, but it's kind of mediocre. Kind of standard, I guess. There's nothing really special about it, besides how I apparently want to burn things while drinking it.

d.: I think that basically that's the definition of Chardonnay for us. It's like, we'll drink it because it's wine, but we don't necessarily actually, honestly enjoy it. Sure there are elements in it that we're alright with, but looking at it big picturefully, the elements are at the start of the periodic table. They're like hydrogen or some shit. Can't go wrong with Science.
