Gosh, it is almost June

I don't know how it happened but it is now almost June and the last post was in February. Thankfully, February was NOT the last time I drank a bottle of wine. I guess life got a little busy between finishing school, taking national exams, graduating, coaching, planning a wedding, buying a house. It is certain that now that I have graduated, bought a house, and will be making next to nothing, I will continue to drink 3 dollar bottles of wine for a long time.

Today's wine review is for Holy Cow Chardonnay. We received this wine at a wedding "shower" if that is what you call it when your grandparents and cousins show up for Sunday morning breakfast. The bottle has no description of this wine but it does have a really cool cow with a halo on the label.

Reviewer 1: Well the first time I tried this wine it wasn't cold and I didn't even finish my glass. However, tonight I tried again after it had been probably chilled and I drank two glasses. For those of you that know me, well you know the condition that I am in as I am typing this. I better be careful at the wedding. Anyway, this wine was very dry and while I would say that I don't love chardonnay this one was satisfying. It went well with our dinner of Risotto with spring vegetables and smoked ham. I really like the label and if I was more of a chardonnay fan I would buy this wine. But for now I will stick with the pinots.

Reviewer 2: I appreciate the fact that we were given a bottle of wine from Mattawa, Washington. But this wine is not tops on my list. It was much better when chilled (I'm still trying to train reviewer #1). I can't say much more than that because I didn't get any more because reviewer #1 drank 2 glasses. But in general I don't enjoy a chardonnay as much as a pinot grigio, reisling, or muscat. The wine was fine when chilled and contributed to a delicious risotto.
