+1 Chateau St. Jean makes killer chardies. They have for a long time. In 2003 I was setting up an auction for a local wine merchant and one of the donors brought in a case of 1989 CSJ Chardonnay. He had found it in his cellar way in the back, it had been resting on the corks for more than 10 years. A couple bottles were definitely bad, but we found many of them quite tasty. Though they turned really quickly after being opened. It was nice to see that an American winery had actually made a white wine that could be aged like a white Burgundy or white Bordeaux. -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:259133 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
