This attractively priced Chardonnay is a good choice for any festive gathering. It comes from a family owned Northern California winery using Certified Organic grapes. It is buttery, highly aromatic and nicely full-flavored, with suggestions of tropical fruits and a little spice. The bright label alone, with its cheerful sunflower, is bound to lift spirits on a gray, frigid winter day (girasole is French for sunflower).
