Have to agree with the Badman here, that Chalone Pinot is a winner- if one must drink Pinot (let’s not and say we did). And it’s a great value too. That twice we’ve both ranked it the top wine on the table.
The question is, can this modest Central Coast sleeper sweep the competition in the Tier I, mk11 tasting this Friday or will my sentimental favorite- the Gevray Chambertin take top honours?
Stay tuned for results.
