($20, Vineyard Brands): Neil Ellis is one of South Africa’s star producers.  He makes at least two different Chardonnays, this one from the Stellenbosch region and one from Elgin.  This one is the richer and more overt of the two and will appeal to those who like a little more muscle in their Chardonnay.  Crisp acidity keeps the flavors in check. 88 Michael Apstein Mar 4, 2008
