Are you or a loved one in the anti-Chardonnay camp? If yes, I’m here to tell you that it’s no place to be - and if you don’t believe me, give Giant Step’s inexplicably layered, inviting Chardonnay a try.

Chamomile, lemon, pear, mango, and hazelnuts mingle beautifully and there’s no butter bomb to knock you out. My only mistake was not buying more - Wine Spectator named it their #14 Top Pick of 2020 (after I had purchased it, thank goodness) and it’s been tough to come by ever since.

But if you do happen upon a bottle… it’s worth more than every penny!

Wine LALA rating: Brilliant!
