Kristen ran the Napa marathon yesterday, and qualified for Boston!!! We’re celebrating at our first stop of the day at Domaine Chandon for some morning bubbles. The reserve tasting starts off with a 100% Chardonnay which boasts a crisp finish. The second is 80% Pinot Noir 20% Chardonnay, it hits your palette  with a nice apple start and a robust finish. The final glass is a 2009 vintage brut from Yountville that’s 76% Pinot and 24% Chard. It’s just a bit more sweet than the second and has a little more of a fruit flavor. Overall, very happy with our reserve tasting selection.

On to Sequoia Grove!
