Default TN: Lafarge Aligote

With a lemon-garlic chicken dish, the 2002 Michel Lafarge "Raisins
Dor=E9s" Bourgogne Aligot=E9. Could easily pass for Chardonnay, all apple
butter with a bit of spice, good acidity. One glass with dinner, then
out to do a speech at a college. Come back (3 hours after opening),
this seems more acidic (almost too much) without food. Still, a nice
lively wine. Another glass with some sole on Thursday, however, is very
acidic and almost bitter. Overall I preferred the 2000 and 2001 of
this. On night one, a B/B+.

Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent
wine, B a good wine, C mediocre. Anything below C means I wouldn't
drink at a party where it was only choice. Furthermore, I offer no
promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency.
