Tasting - Girard: Chardonnay

Name: Girard
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Sonoma
Country: California
Year: 2008
Price: originally $28 on sale for $12.95

Wine Makers Notes: Experience tropical fruit balanced by small oak barrel aging, adding a layer of spice, richness, and complexity. Crafted specifically for the passionate football fans of New York, this limited release is a perfect addition to game day or your tail gate party.
Sniffy Sniff: This chardonnay had a creamy fruity aroma, with a hint of spices. It seemed like a strange combination, but I had to try it!

Slurppy Slurp: It was not as creamy and buttery as I had expected from a California Chardonnay, but it was delightful. There was some slight fruit coming through but it was more spices with and oaky after taste that left my mouth tingling.
