Sometimes you just open something because you feel like trying it. Betsy said we were having vegetable soup, tofu, and daikon salad. I had a white Burg I wanted to try, thought it might go ok. Well, it turns out the soup was with shiitake and beech mushrooms, hot peppers, and a Chinese seasoned broth; meanwhile. the tofu was in fried in a chili pepper sauce. Tough for any wine, maybe an off-dry Riesling or Chenin might have worked. I pretty much stuck to water, and had the wine afterwards.
Wine may not have been a match, but it was a delicous Chardonnay. It was the 2007 Eric Texier Macon-Bussieres Tres Vieilles Vignes. Surprisingly, I thought this was a bit rounder/fatter than the 2005 of this wine. Still, there is a nice balanced streak of acid. Nose of flowers and ripe white fruits, on palate quite full, with pears, citrus, and a little nutty note. Nice concentration, balanced. Very nice wine, and I wish I had chosen match better. B+/A-
Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
