A Buttery Fresh Pear

I enjoy when wine geeks make crazy analogies about what a specific wine tastes like to them.  Some of the most enjoyable descriptions and analogies are the kind you never see attached to your name in print.

But since I enjoy being the butt of jokes, I'll actually make a geeky analogy about the flavor profile of a wine I am very much enjoying right now.  It's the 2003 Landmark Overlook Chardonnay from Sonoma.  It's a fantastic wine that is buttery, rich with a nicely balanced brightness that is far from being overoaked.  In describing how this wine tastes, I was thinking about butter. And fresh fruit. I think I'd say that this wine tastes like a fresh slice of pear being dunked in drawn butter.  Now that is kind of disgusting to me and I'm not sure I'd want to eat that, but the buttery, fresh, crisp nature of this wine leads me to make this (foolish?) analogy.   I have enjoyed the Landmark with a morel tart and many of the spring treats I've been making recently.  For about $20, this is a nice pick up for the warm weather months ahead.
