I'm finally starting to feel better (broken ribs heal slowly) so I went out yesterday to the local marketplace and found fresh halibut and English peas and a nice seafood terrine (where does one grow English peas this time of year?) I seared and pan roasted the halibut and made a buerre blanc sauce with the peas. Opened a bottle of 2008 Melville Santa Rita Hills Estate Chardonnay. Great QPR at $22. Focused citrus peel, a hint of lemon and and a bit of orange. Nice acidity and mionerality with no oak. "B+/A-"
