Brunellos like time. Lots of it. You can drink in 5 - 7 yrs (in their youth) & then they get awkward again until 10+.

I loathe 95% of CA Chardonnay.

You are not alone. Some of the Italian chards are very good but the Aussies are over-oaked just like CA. Sauvignon Blanc - usually Italian - is my typical white wine choice. I've tried some good white Bugundies, but I don't know enough about them. I have a couple of '99 Saint-Aubin - Colin - that I'll dive into soon.

Fun subject - almost as much fun to talk about as it is to consume!

I'll second that.
