We arrived at Erath, tasted a few wines, and began to think that perhaps we weren't such discriminating wine drinkers after all, as most of the wines we tasted we enjoyed. Or perhaps we were so pleased with the views of the hills around us -- rolling green hills covered in trees and open vineyards -- that we were happy to keep toasting to each vintage. This tasting room was the most crowded of all, but we perservered at our spot by the bar and bought a few bottles of Chardonnay, reserve and estate. The reserve was buttery, smooth, and full, and so was the estate but to a lesser degree. Months later, unable to find the estate at shops in New York, I emailed the winery and ordered a case. Half I gave as gifts, the rest I'm saving for summer meals.
