2008 One Woman Estate Reserve Chardonnay

Last night, we had our friends over for an impromptu dinner of black sea bass with black bean sauce and Asian cole slaw. To complement the dinner, we had a bottle of 2008 One Woman Estate Reserve Chardonnay. The One Woman Wines and Vines story is worth reading about and we picked up this bottle of wine on our trip to Long Island in 2011 on the recommendation of our friend who was over for dinner, (she of the Domaine Leflaive, inclination, so needless to say, her taste is impeccable).
But, this is a cautionary tale. When we went to the tasting room, which is really a remarkably cute little transformed potting shed (?), we tasted her wines and especially the reserve Chardonnay that our friend of the impeccable taste highly recommended. We were puzzled, the wine seemed a little unbalanced and to be blunt, not good at all. We wondered what our friend saw in this wine, but based on her recommendation, purchased a bottle to take home with us. Recently, at her home, she had a dinner which featured the One Woman wine and my husband and I really liked it. So, we wondered, was what we had in the tasting room not indicative of the quality of this wine? In opening the bottle last night, the four of us at dinner agreed that it was a well made wine. So, the lesson to us is that we should also be tasting our wine to ensure that what we serve our customers is really what we feel is the wine we crafted.
Also, I need to apologize for the poor photo, but shining more light on the label or taking the photo with a flash resulted in the label coming out as "One Man" instead of "One Woman".
