I found it! I'll let you know when I have tasted, sometime this week.

Hope it's the '03. We picked up an '03 today for $9.99.

Yes, it is! I paid $13. It's sitting next to a bottle of 2004 Nieto from Mendoza, Argentina, also a chard. I'm very curious about both of these.

So many wines, so little time.

IK, I just opened it and, well, I have to say, this is the best unoaked chardonnay I have ever tasted. You were right. Folks, you gotta try this one.

Going back next week to get a couple more of these.

What's the full name? There are several wines with "Charmes" in the name available to me locally.

Thanks

Hmm, not apparently available at the provincial stores...might have to try popping into a private shop.

Do you guys have any recommendations for something comparable? (www.bcliquorstores.com has a great search feature - tells you what's in stock at what stores even - I love it!)

Try this one. You should be able to find it:

2004 Frei Brothers Russian River Valley --

it's as good, and also tastes unoaked to me. If you can't find it there are many others that are good. Someone will no doubt post another one or two?

No Frei Brothers at the public stores - other RRV Chards though...

Eng, there are public and private stores. There have been some private wine stores for awhile now, but we also some private liquor stores as well - those got allowed a few years ago.

See the list of Private Wine Stores in this document:

http://www.bcliquorstores.com/pdf/BCprivatewinestores.pdf

If you'll be downtown, I know that Marquis is supposed to have a good rep - never been there myself, but have heard of it several times. It's all about where you are really, because they're pretty much all in Vancouver or close to.

You know, I've been to a few of these on Victoria Island and I thought that they looked a bit different. I always wondered but it never really registered.

thanks for the information and I will look out for it.

Here's another: Woodbridge Special Reserve, from Lodi. Had this this weekend. Very good unoaked one. Much better than the average Woodbridge, which I would not recommend.

Special reserve, huh?

No dice on that either. Bummer.

I'm sure I'll find something, hah.
