2010 Niagara Bachelder Chardonnay

Drinking this wine with our friend brought back memories of spending Canadian Thanksgiving with Mary Delaney and her family. We were there last year to participate in a harvest (as interested onlookers) and Mary invited us over for dinner. What a feast it was, but her husband, Thomas was in Burgundy, making his wines. My husband carved the turkey and we sat down with Mary's two daughters, her sister, her sister's daughter, her nephew and his girlfriend.
This evening, we made fish and shrimp in parchment paper and paired it with the 2010 Niagara Bachelder Chardonnay.
I found a great article online Wines in Niagara that speaks to Thomas Bachelder's passion and commitment to excellence in making his wine. He wants to let the terroir of Burgundy, Niagara, and Oregon express itself through his winemaking. The 2010 Niagara Chardonnay was wonderful, that's really all that needs to be said!
