Chardonnay #2

Chardonnay #2:



Barnard Griffin Columbia Valley Chardonnay,  2009 from   Richland, Washington, 13.2% alcohol

Aroma: Fresh peaches, slight blue cheese aroma
Flavor: Peaches, but not overly sweet





I enjoyed this wine with Gazpacho, two cheese described below, and fresh raspberries.  The wine goes great with the gazpacho, and especially great with the raspberries. 

Bonus: 

I enjoyed this wine with the Tallegio Cheese from Chardonnay #1.   The Barnard Chardonnay does not go well with the Tallegio Cheese at all.  The Barnard wine ruins the flavor of the Tallegio cheese by creating a bitter taste on the tongue. 



Cheese:  Follow your heart Nacho Vegan Gourmet Cheese Alternative

The flavor and spices of this Tofu Cheese alternative really remind me of nachos, but its not creamy. However it will satisfy my desire for nachos while I'm on my diet.  Interestingly the vegan nacho cheese goes great with the Barnard Chardonnay.
