  • Shop review:
    • "Gotham's 2008 Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay Semillon is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Semillon.  It gives a moderate intensity of melon, guava, apricot, and butterscotch aromas.  The medium bodied palate provides attractive acidity along with plenty of tropical fruit flavors and a medium-long finish."
  • My review:
    • This wine was very tart and acidic; I think it is definitely an acquired taste.  It was hard to pick out the flavor notes because of the strong acidity, but I tasted melon and apple.  The wine had a long finish.  Because of all these characteristics I would be interested in trying it with food to see if I would like it better, maybe with steak or another meat.
  • I did not have this wine with food.
