Doing Good by Living Well (tm)
I did a radio show called "Wino Wednesday" on Indy 103.1 last week, promoting the Bogart Pediatric Cancer Wine Aficionado dinner coming up in May. Stacie Hunt and I poured a 2006 Peter Michael Chardonnay and a 2004 Colgin Herb Lamb Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon to get the attention of hosts Liz Warner and Jose Galvan. The Colgin was too young, a pity at that price, but the Peter Michael was spot on. Is it ironic--or just funny?--that perhaps the best adjective you can attach to a California Chardonnay is that it is "Burgundian"? We will be pairing it with an 2006 Olivier Leflaive Puligny Montrachet Referts at the Wine Aficionado dinner.
Sir Peter's wines are sold by allocation, but one store that carries a lot of them (starting at only $79.99) is 20-20 in Los Angeles.
