2010 Wolffer Perle Chardonnay

It has been raining for most of Wednesday and Thursday and the tally for our corner of Connecticut is close to 3.0 for those days. It's still drizzling today. The rain put a halt to any work we were planning to do out in the vineyard.
A few nights ago, we had our friends over for dinner so even though it was pouring down rain outside, inside, we were having a great time. For this night, we began with smoked salmon and crackers and oysters which we paired with Nicolas Feuillatte champagne. We moved on to this 2010 Wolffer Perle Chardonnay which we procured when we visited Wölffer Estate this past August. We paired the Chardonnay with Sweet Pea Risotto, a recipe from the Real Simple site. We topped the risotto with seared Stonington scallops and it was a delicious pairing. In addition to the Wolffer Chardonnay, we also drank a 2012 Vignoble Dampt Les Fourneaux Premier Cru, which had a bit more acidity than the Wolffer. It was a very pleasant midweek evening in the company of good friends.
