DRINK
Napa Cellars Chardonnay Chardonnay can be big and buttery or light and fruity. Why not choose one that fits in the middle? Napa Cellars Chardonnay is very approachable and has hints of fruit, hints of dry and hints of butter. It’s styled more like a Burgundy than a big California Chard but very good. It goes well with roasted chicken, grilled veggies or on its own (around $14). —John Farrell
