Kathleen Lisson: Hi, I am Kathleen and thank you for watching today's Wine Blogging Wednesday video tasting. Today, I am having a glass of Wagner Chardonnay. It's a 2005 vintage and it has 12.9% alcohol. This wine is tank fermented and the grapes are state grown. So unfortunately it's not the Oaky Chardonnay that everybody is used to, which means, I can't make any of my usual old oaky Chardonnay jokes like, Uh, there's a splinter in my nose, this wine is so oaky, or hey, I was thinking of you and how you like oaky Chardonnay the other day, when I walked in the Home Depot's lumbar department.
Now this one is tank fermented and the nose of apples and a little melon really went well with my dinner of spaghetti with garlic and olive oil and mussels in a garlic butter sauce. Additionally, the wine was light to medium bodied, not quite as acidic as light as the Sauvignon Blanc but definitely not as creamy as a traditional oaky buttery Chardonnay you can get. So it's definitely a happy medium. Bill Wagner owns this winery, it's in Lodi, New York on the Eastern shore of Seneca Lake, which is right here on my map, and it's actually really close to where my grandmother grew up.
The winery -- when you go to the winery, the biggest building that you can see when you actually enter the winery ground, is this big eight sided wooden building. Also when you take a walk on the ground, you will see the beautiful Seneca Lake and the grape vines going down the hills towards the Seneca Lake. It's one of the very beautiful view, which is what I really enjoy going to wineries and seeing that absolutely beautiful views. This winery hosts a rather expensive tour that will teach you a lot about wine making, and it also has a bonus, if your party is going, touring the vineyards, or maybe, somebody's boyfriend doesn't really like wine all that much, he likes beer little bit more. This winery actually also has a brewery. So it's great for beer lovers.
In conclusion, I really love this wine. I definitely recommend it. It's 1099, and thank you very much for watching this video tasting.
