In Pursuit of Balance

I Pursuit of Balance is the movement to encourage and promote the well- balanced, well-made Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from California.
This movement ends this year, but I had a chance to attend the last tasting in San Francisco.

It was held at RN74 in downtown.

All the wines were, of course, balanced.
Not too jammy, not too alcoholic. Approachable.
Here's some of the wines which were memorable to me.

Mount Eden
Big Basin
Chanin Wine Company Great find. Their labels were beautiful, too.

Hirsch Vineyard

Matthiasson 

Tyler Winery Their Bien Nacido W Block Chardonnay 2014 was gorgeous.

Wenzlau Vineyard makes decent Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and their sparkling wine was the best.

Presqu'ile Winery
Littorai Their wines were too delicious to spit out.

Carela 2012,2013,2014 Pinot Noir and 2014 Chardonnay.
They also served 05 Jensen and 01 Mills. Delicate and complex.

Although I love Pinot Noir and like balanced wine, if I keep drinking the same type of wines, it becomes to feel like monotonous. Then some winery brought Cabernet or Syrah, and they tasted so refreshing.
Balance is, really, important.
