Giordano Wines

My father had a wine inspiration for my 38th birthday gift, a wine fridge and a gift basket with 12 assorted bottles from Giordano Winery. Finding anything about them on the Internet is a challenge, so I'll find the original links to their wine club. It's worth a look.

Their 2006 Chardonnay Sicilia tastes of the old world Chards with a rich buttery taste and silky texture. If you like crisp and citrus laced Chards, as so many of the current breed are, then you should avoid this wine. Giordano tastes more in the tradition of the old full-bodied chardonnay style, full of butter, cream, oak, and malolactic fermentation. It's got great legs in the glass, a deep yellow color, a full nose, and a very silky texture that fills your mouth and lingers. I tasted it with a dinner of spicy chicken enchiladas, and it held flavors against the heat of the peppers and onions. It would also be good with lighter flavors like salads and sea foods.
