Weddings and Wine

My friends Travis and Jordan got married on Saturday in Belfast...which was lovely (even with the rain!). Great to see old friends and great to meet new ones.

Their reception was at the Mount n' Sea Inn in Northport, and they did a great job. In addition to a ton of food, they had just oodles of Charles Shaw (aka two buck chuck) chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon. I mentioned to someone that, all joking aside, Charles Shaw chardonnay was actually an award winning wine; this was laughed off.

So to the naysayers, I present the *double gold winning* two buck chuck: Charles Shaw Chardonnay reigns supreme!

I had written a review of the Four Vines Old Vine Cuvee Zinfandel...a fruity Zin blend that makes me want to buy one of their "Zin Bitch" shirts.

Anyway, fun little surprise in the Boston Globe...every month they recommend some "plonk" (relatively inexpensive and surprisingly drinkable wine) and Four Vines Naked Chardonnay is one of their picks!

When we were at the Boston Wine Expo, they slapped a "Naked" tattoo on my arm because I liked this unoaked Chardonnay so much. Gives me a little validation for my palate.

Here's the "Barebones Chardonnay" Plonk of the Month.
