Cameron Hughes Chardonnay Lot 216

There's a lot going in here. Mostly Chardonnay, it also blends Pinot Blanc, Riesling & Muscat for a complex nose and finish. Aromas of stone fruits like nectarines and peaches. A bit oakier than I usually like, but it is bright & acidic & refreshing. This would have been great with the lobster dumplings I had over the weekend.

Wine & Painting

This seems to be the latest thing: put a bunch of women in a room, give them wine, music, and some paint and basic painting instruction and let the fun begin!

I've kinda put off attending one of these as I'm not all that artistically inclined even though it doesn't really matter and, well, any excuse to drink wine right?

This was at the South Dakota Art Museum, so I was a bit surprised to see Yellow Tail and Fish Eye wines (usually you will see J Lohr wines at events held on campus). I seem to be on a Pinot kick as I chose both Grigio and Noir last night!

The Yellow Tail Pinot Grigio is a nice Grigio. A little sweet, but not overly so. Slightly acidic not too dry.

About half way through the evening, I switched over to the Fish Eye Noir when the Delta Chi guys brought with wine downstairs and they were out of Grigio. This is a fruity noir with a hint of raspberries.

I had a lot of fun with my sister in law and 2 of her friends (and my first night out without Rocky or the girls). We are talking about doing it again the next time Uncorked Creativity is in town.
