Tasting - Mars and Venus Chardonnay

Name: Mars and Venus Chardonnay 
Variety: Chardonnay 
Region: Central Valley 
Country: Chili 
Year: 2011
Price: $5.95
Shop review: A very nice value Chardonnay that comfortably over-delivers vs.its modest price tag. No oak here, just bushels of clean, crisp, Chardonnay apple and stone fruit with a hint of caramelized pineapple.  Juicy and clean, this is a mid-weight white that's just perfect for parties or weeknight sipping.

My review: LOVED IT, BOUGHT IT, WOULD LOOK FOR IT AGAIN! It wasn't sour, it was easy to drink, it was light and it was only six bucks! My kind of white.  When I first drank it, I didn't really get much of anything, it was the after taste that had all of the flavor and I liked that about it.  I guess I'm just not sophisticated enough to really know what the after taste was just yet, or really what it smelled like (hopefully that will come with more practice).  I tried but I could just pick up that it was good.  I had the bottle I bought while watching the super bowl :).
