Vintage Cellar Review:  Gotham's 2008 Wine Men of Gotham Chardonnay Semillon is a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Semillon.  It gives a moderate intensity of melon, guava, apricot, and butterscotch aromas.  The medium bodied palate provides attractive acidity along with plenty of tropical fruit flavors and a medium-long finish.

My Review:  This wine was disgusting.  It had a stale, musty smell that reminded me of cheap Andre Champagne.  It was not sweet at all, and not really very dry or crisp either.  This wine had a very sour, bitter aftertaste that sticks with you.  I did not pair this wine with food and never would.  It was horrible and will not ever drink it again.
