I first came to love Chardonnay many years ago when I fell in love with French Burgundy. I loved it so much that when Frank and I welcomed a dog into our home, we named our little bichon frise Chardonnay, along with her partner, Chablis.

Over the years, though, my love affair with Chardonnay (the wine, not the dog) waned. So when I decided to partner with the Scheid family, our goal was to craft a wine with poise, one that allowed the true varietal character of the Chardonnay grape to shine. GIFFT Chardonnay is that wine.
