North Texas Wine Update: LightCatcher Releases 2007 Unoaked Chardonnay

LightCatcher Winery in Fort Worth is the place to be this weekend. This Sunday is the winery’s oh-so-relaxing Jazz Sunday (We gave it a Best of Big D nod in 2006). You can sit back on the patio, listen to The Rhett Butler Trio, order some tasty nosh, and  a bottle of the 2007 LightCatcher Chardonnay ($26). Winemaker Caris Turpen just released this bright gem last weekend. It’s unoaked, which means you won’t taste any buttery vanilla notes in this Chardonnay. I had the pleasure of sampling a bit straight from the tank and can say that you’ll love this wine with salads, fish, and anything with a hint of lemon. Click here for directions. Jazz Sunday is from 4-7 p.m. and is $10 per person.
