The Gold Standard in 2009 Oscar Wine

Last year, I received a fabulous bottle of Sterling Vineyard’s Red Carpet Reserve numbered, limited edition wine. I had my own little Oscar celebration and reveled in the decadence of watching the Oscars in fuzzy slippers with a special glass in my hand. This year, they sent me the Gold Standard Reserve Chardonnay, the fourth vintage of a limited edition white wine. The stars will be sipping these wines paired with Wolfgang Puck's famous cuisines.The full bodied Sterling white wine has a creamy texture with notes of vanilla and even a pinch of spice.  I can just imagine it with one of the tuna tartare cones served at Spago at the start of every meal.  It would hold up to roasted poulty with beets, perhaps,or a light pasta dish.  Whether or not you are an A-List celebrity, you can prepare your own special Academy Awards dinner with friends, and drink like one.
