I grabbed some of my favorite chardonnay for 16 bucks a bottle!Mer Soleil unoaked chard in the ceramic bottle. It was killed immediately.
The full on Mer Soleil was 22 bucks, so tonight will be butter/oak fest.
We had friends over for a smoked pork loin and I picked up a 2009 Rombauer Merlot and 2009 Groth cab at the same sale and both were 'light style' enough to match the food. The Rombauer was better than I remembered from them - much more structure than anticipated!
The Groth was a bit generic.

...if young is probably pretty tight and needs some bottle age, as you well know.
We had an expensive cab tasting earlier this month (seemed a waste to drink such babies) and the 2010 Groth Reserve ($88 at Costco) finished 4th out of 6.
The winner was 2009 Altamura Napa ($65 to $85) which is pretty drinkable now.
They were all pretty good, though - the spread with 6 tasters was only 9 points from #1 to #6.
