The name intrigued me; Fat Bastard... Hmmm.... Ok, so here come a bottle with me (remember, this is under $20.00, which is the price goal of wines that make it to this blog)...</div><div><br /></div><div>Here are my wife's thoughts:</div><div>"Big, and robust, yet, its textures had fruit that had seemed to have been fermented in luxury. And Bob Dylan in the background made it hot sex in a bottle!". I like that! What did I think about it? Being a NON-wine connoisseur (take that, you wine snobs!), it wasn't a harsh wine (you know, one that'll dry your mouth in a swig!), and kinda fruity. We had it with saltine crackers, garlic sesame breadsticks, and <a href="http://www.boursincheese.com/">Boursin</a> cheese. Fantastic!</div><div><br /></div><div>So, there you go, <a href="http://www.fatbastardwine.com/our-wines-detail.php?wineryID=9&amp;varietalID=4&amp;wnme=">Fat Bastard</a> Chardonnay, go check it out!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4561969921566008782-7881101794213538482?l=thecommonerswineblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tommyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04060460343348914772noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4561969921566008782.post-29262668823832381822008-07-08T21:38:00.000-05:002008-07-08T21:40:02.638-05:00Ok...
