Resisting urge to quality check it...

Yeah, I blew the budget and it Tastes it.
4’s generous.
3.6 on the WS.
Do try Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay, and also give the relatively inexpensive Petaluma Chardonnay a go; Brian Croser makes the Chardonnay grape perform fantastically.

Very familiar with Leeuwin Estate Art Series Chardonnay.
Story.
Theres an upmarket Indian on the GC called “Saffron”.

So Kel and I walk in sit down and look at the menu……and wine.

Kel’s noticed they’ve got “Art series” at $60
”what?”
“Yup, says here $60!”
Gotta be a mistake….let’s ask to see one…..so we did.
Yup ”Art series“ comes out……..
ok, we’ll have that.

Long story short, someone had priced their “Art series” $140 (each normally in Dan Murphys)…..so normally double+ in a restaraunt at the price a Leeuwin Estate “prelude” Chardonnay would be $30 (Dans) - circa double in the Indian.

So we had 4 bottles…..went back the following week and did the same…….following week….they‘d twigged!

Winner winner chicken tikka dinner!

Lovely drop……from what we remember!
