Today we review a white wine from France that sells for just $5 a bottle at the fabulous Premier Wine in Wilmington, Delaware.
This chardonnay is part of a line of very inexpensive french wines under the Georges Duboeuf label. I think the chardonnay is the best of the line. In fact, possibly the best restaurant in Delaware (Harry’s Seafood Grill, on the riverfront) uses this, re-labled, as their house chardonnay. When I had it at Harry’s, I thought it was a solid winner. When I tried it at home while staring at the dishes in my kitchen sink, some doubts begain to creep in.
It’s fruity, and does smell wonderful. The taste has some real character and gives a balance of sweet and tart flavors. If you’re not too picky and you love white wine, this might be the key to slashing your wine budget and putting a big, fat smile on your face. But to me, it had a confused feel to it, an alcohol-heavy, sharp overtone that prevented it from being truly yummy, and so I’ve decided that this great value is unfortunately:
Not recommended.
Next!
most wine glasses have very thin structure and i bet that they break easily not unless they are made of quartz glass ~`~
