I am looking for a vendor that will sell us Kendall Jackson Chardonay
for our restaurant in Campbell, CA. Our current vendors don't carry
Kendall Jackson Chardonay.

Thank,

David

You should be thankful that he does not. A rare, wise vendor! Who wants
to drink that crap? Are your customers that lacking in discrimination?

Funniest post from you yet ... cracked me up (sometimes, truth is the best
humor!)

I am certain that you can do better than KJ Chardonnay....I have had
it...over-oaked and crude...

I prefer something like Santa Tresa Jenko (Grillo grape), from Sicily:

Grapes: 100% Grillo. Grillo is indigenous to Sicily and one of the
island's best quality and most important white wine grapes. Vineyard
area: Premium quality Grillo grapes are selected from prestigious
vineyard sites in southern Sicily.

Vines are trained using the spalliera method. Yields are low, with
production per vine kept strictly to a minimum in order to maximise the
concentration in the grapes.
Harvest: All grapes are picked extremely carefully by hand in
mid-September. Picking takes place only in the cool early hours of the
morning to ensure the grapes remain in top condition. It is vital to
pinpoint exactly the right moment in the ripening of the grapes, to
know when to pick. We take enormous care when making this decision in
order to achieve the perfect balance between residual sugar and
acidity. Grapes are placed into small containers so that they do not
become crushed by their own weight.
Vinification: We strongly believe that great wine is made in the
vineyard, and we therefore ensure the winemaking process handled as
gently as possible. Once in the cellar, the grapes are gently
de-stemmed and crushed. Fermentation is initiated by the addition of
selected yeasts, and takes place at a temperature not exceeding 18°C
for about 10 days. No malolactic fermentation takes place in order to
maintain the Grillo's valuable acidity. About the 50% of the wine is
aged in oak barriques for about 2-3 months. Both the oaked and unoaked
wines are then kept at a cold temperature on their fine lees until at
least the end of January, during which time they are stirred
continuously. They are then blended to produce a perfectly integrated
wine.
Alcohol: 13,5 %

Winemaker's notes: Yellow in colour, with green glint, Janko has a
fruity bouquet of peach apricot and citrus fruit, with an aroma of
white flowers and a hint of vanilla. The palate is fresh, lively,
perfectly balanced with a fruity backbone.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'flabby'. It's been a long time since I
had this wine, but I would not call it 'flabby', but rather over-oaked
and crude, lacking finesse.

When the group is through chastising you for carrying KJ you may still want
an answer to your question. In the everyday world of the un-annointed, KJ
Chard is a popular restaurant wine. It and Blackstone Merlot are probably
consumed by more people than consume Two Buck Chuck (you should pardon the
expression on this board).

Anyway...... from what I know of the industry, KJ is distributed by Regal,
which is owned by the same people as KJ (Jess jackson, et al). I'd be
surprised if it was available from anyone else. I'd call KJ and ask their
sales department who is selling restaurant accounts in Campbell.

I assume this is a troll. KJ chard is one of the best selling
restaurant wines in the us. I do not know if distributors overlap in
campbell, but the distributor has got to be selling this stuff by the
ton to every restaurant in the area.

for those of you with the golden palets, you can point out that the
only kj you would drink is lokya or verite, or hartford court or ed
meads, but it is kj chard that pays the bills.

Thanks for all the help! F Kj! lol. jk. I actually found it a few
minutes after I posted. The wine was for the restaurant not me.
