I hesitated for a couple of days about whether write down my tasting note about this wine or not, because it did not give me too many special impacts while drinking.
It is a quintessential and typical Chardonnay, not special. It has aromas of tangerines, pineapples and oaks, but not dense enough, not concentrated enough, not strong enough. The palates contain citrus and acid, but not well balanced with alcohol, so I got a slightly harsh mouth tasting.
(20090406 Update: The nose has a hint of smoke and tobacco)
Although Wine Spectator gave it almost 90 points and the price is inexpensive (@costco, about $12 for 2 bottles, tax included), I personally do not recommend it very much, unless you want to try some typical California Chardonnay. Do not expect it as a great bomb of Chardonnay, it is just an easy drinking or pairing bottle.

The first time from my arrival of USA, feel the shaking. The reports said that this magnitude 4.3 earthquake is a normal energy release, much smaller than the earthquake sequences in 1987 (magnitude 7.2).
However, the earthquake make me think of the flood on nctu.talk while an earthquake breaks out in Taiwan.

Canon 原本是對外宣稱秋天才會推出 DSLR 新機種，沒想到這兩天偷偷推出 500D，可怕的是掛上了 Full HD 的錄影功能，預計四月底開始販售。可能是之前被 Nikon 打的太慘了，現在 Canon 的逆襲來了啊啊啊～
想要用相機又有 Full HD 可是不想花錢買 5D-2 的人，可以考慮這台了。

春天是很多薔薇科的開花期，所以最近看了很多這類的花，也因為長相類似，所以有時候還蠻容易搞混的，以下是我查了一些資料的整理。喔耶！看西斯(誤)部落格長知識！
因為都是去查網路上的資料跟去書局翻一些植物相關的書籍，故不保證全部正確，所以若有任何意見或指正請踴躍提出。

前幾天去 downtown 時意外發現有幾顆櫻花準備要開花了，今天帶著相機出去剛好看到盛開中。
