Gretchen never turns down the opportunity to experiment and welcomes interesting projects. \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42614635495675,"sku":"00073091","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/products\/ade4e10d14bae97cc00271fb48991d78.jpg?v=1643407985","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/piazza-mount-carmel-chardonnay-santa-rita-hills-ca-2020","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
