Our last post was almost three month ago, making that interval the longest dry spell we've had since we started this thing 543 posts ago. We've tried to post in that interval, by the way. Just last month we thought we had a good one about Bonny Doone wines but when we sat down to do it, it just wouldn't come. What could the problem be? It's just a silly blog.
So, we're going to overcome this writer's block thing slowly, with baby steps.
If you go to sandhiwines.com or to their marketer, skurnik.com, you will be greeted by an exceptional and classy professional presence. Contrast this approach with the mass marketers who try to mask what they are doing with their transparently fictious, romanticized winery backstories. Those stories can leave you cringing from their patent obfuscation. They obviously don't want you to know anything about their product. Sandhi (and Skurnik) want you to know what makes what they are doing better than others. Their winemaking intentions in particular are absolutely noble compared to those who merely intend to turn out a commodity. They also believe in passing along the kind of critical product information so lacking at other sites.
The Sandhi wine we have in the store currently is the Central Coast Chardonnay. While the Sandhi/Skurnik websites assert their fine wine bonafides, this particular wine is not mentioned. The Central Coast Chard is an entry level effort that gets eclipsed at the website by their estate wines. So how do we know it's good? We have it on good faith from an Atlanta sommeliere. A real sommeliere. That alone should tell us this one is food friendly.
