Starting off tonight (even though there's no obligation to drink, but whatever) with a nice bottle of 2006 Herzog Chardonnay. This is not the Reserve Chard which I cannot stand since it is way too over-oaked. This is your run of the mill, $10 in the grocery store, kosher Chardonnay. And it's good! Great aromas of sweet lemon and granny smith apple, and perfectly tart on the palate with a drop of residual sugar. Why would you spend three times more on a wine that tastes like an old pencil?
That said, I tried a wonderful aged Chardonnay from Tabor. This wine is still kicking even though it is from the 2003 vintage in Israel (which was a good vintage, but still, it's a white). Not as acidic as my fresh Herzog friend over here, but still fresh.
