I'm back! I took a trip to Thailand, where is wine is sparse and expensive. Unbelievably there is such a thing as Thai wine, and I did sample some. Surprisingly it was decent, and my hands didn't turn purple. One such wine was from Monsoon Valley Wines. I think Thai wines still have a long way to go in establishing any sort of reputation.
Today I tried Cono Sur Tocornal Chardonnay. It comes in a big 1.5 jug and is an excellent value table wine. Fairly simple palate, partly because it is unoaked. Notes of kiwi and grapefruit.
Score: 82

Wine tastings by Chris (aka Cheese Toast) and Jules. We are by no means experts, but find it fun to keep a record of what we sample. Many of the wines are available locally in the area we currently live (Vancouver, London ON, and now Boston)
