This a chardonnay from France. It was good. Really good. Good enough to where I question if I like Sauvignon Blanc at all.
Wine: Burgundy Macônnais White
Vintage: 2017
Winery: Domaine de la Croix Senaillet
Country: France
Region: Burgundy
Grape Varietal: (100%) Chardonnay
Source: Travis Heights Wine & Spirits
Winemakers Notes:
Clear and yellow color with a white gold reflection. A very fresh nose, hints of citrus, green apple and white flowers. We appreciate the balance and the nice tension. Vivacious palate with a good balance of the aromas, harmonious finish.
T&T Notes: I opened it an hour before leaving for the weekend. It was mid afternoon and hot. The color was medium yellow. I also thought it could have been dark hay. I picked up citrus on the nose, as the winemaker stated. I narrowed it down as a tangerine aroma, along with pear, and lavender. Tasting was informal. I simply jotted down notes. This wine tasted sweet, with high alcohol and acid, with a pineapple flavor. I will reiterate that I enjoyed this wine, I would buy again, and I will explore chardonnays further to confirm that my palate prefers this over other whites.

Life happens. I didn't taste all six bottles like I planned. But we have no time for excuses. Here are the three wines I WILL taste over the next seven days.
A Chenin Blanc, from the French Winery, "Pourquoi Faire Sans Blanc?"
A red blend from Lioco Winery, in Mendocino County, California.
Finally, a wine from South African Winery Altydgedacht. The varietal is Pinotage. This will be new for me. I'm excited to try it.

The sun in August shows little mercy. But there is hope. A new beginning on the horizon. In a few weeks, on September 1st, hunting season will commence with a flurry of dove and shells. As the countdown dwindles, one must inspect their equipment: Hunting license, shells, shotgun, decoys, and so on. If missing, replace; If possible, upgrade. This season I upgraded to the Filson Tin Game Bag. The classic look appeals to my style and allows an ease of movement my belt bag couldn't. The design is simple. No loud camouflage; no bells and whistles.
