The act of enjoying a nice cold glass of chardonnay, usually while doing something else enjoyable, such as sitting on a patio in beautiful weather.
It was sunny and 74 degrees outside so I sat on the front porch chardonnaying with my glass of Kendall Jackson.

Soccer mom who is always swilling white wine at Bridge Club, Garden Club, Book Club, Junior League and the like. Her children are merely accessories to her social life. Chardonnay moms may be observed giggling, gossiping, or making ill-timed passes at friends' husbands.

A Chardonnay socialist is the middle-class equivalent of a champagne socialist or limousine liberal. The distinction is significant - they are comfortable rather than rich, more likely to watch TV than be on it, and are much, much more numerous.
Chardonnay socialists are characterised by having wonderfully admirable left-wing ideals...which they never act on. It's about feeling good, not doing good. Causes are often comfortably remote - it's easier to sit around with a glass of Church Road talking about how awful the oppression is in East Timor than it is to help your own underprivileged ten minutes down the road.
Despite being about as useful as tits on a bull, at first look they seem basically harmless. But like anyone who chooses a credo for their own self-interest and entertainment, a chardonnay socialist's true value system may well be anything but what it appears. They are quite likely to have a case of the not-in-my-backyards: "Oh, isn't it wonderful we've accepted all those poor refugees into the country! (Just as long as they don't move into our neighbourhood)". If you're the sort of person who cares about actually getting something useful done, the idea of these people starts to look quite sinister.
An accusation of Chardonnay socialism is often a cheap shot fired by right-wingers at anyone they disagree with whose views are remotely to the left of their own. This can be moronic knee-jerk-reactionism or a more calculated move designed to play on the belief of a surprisingly large proportion of the population that anyone with an apparent concern for other people's well-being must have something in it for themselves somewhere. Either way such accusations often have no substance, although if there weren't so many Chardonnay socialists about, the people genuinely interested in doing something good would be far less likely to be tarred with the same brush of hypocrisy.
The term is widespread in New Zealand as well as Australia, but a quick Google search for chardonnay socialism seems to indicate the term is restricted to these two countries. The British would probably say trendy leftie.
There is a particularly high concentration of Chardonnay socialists in the suburb of Grey Lynn in Auckland, New Zealand.

-An example of a Chardonnay socialist is former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser. Fraser advocated for the Lebanese concession however directed the new Lebanese arrivals to Sydney rather than his residential affluent native town of Toorak and other areas in Southern Melbourne. Areas which are 1000km away of Australia's biggest Lebanese community in South-western Sydney.
-During the 2005 Cronulla riots, the actress, Cate Blanchett with no history of living in the Sutherland Shire and South/South-western Sydney wore 'Think' T-shirts during a brief attention seeking moment on Coogee beach with other Chardonnay Socialists.
When Lebanese youths were harassing innocent people during their weekly cruises to the Sutherland Shire for the last few years, Blanchett who at the time was much more likely to be overseas shooting several films such as Elizabeth, The Gift, The Aviator and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Blanchett like Fraser before her, grew up more than 1000 kilometres away in the affluent suburb of Ivanhoe, Victoria, which qualifies her for a Chardonnay Socialist.

A highly sophisticated version of the more commonly known game of Beer Pong. Whereas the traditional participants of Beer Pong tend to be low lifes, inbreeds, hillbillys, morons, 909ers, students from colleges in the southeast US, etc., Chardonnay Pong attracts a more refined level of idiot. The more expensive the Chardonnay, the more important to humanity the Chardonnay Pong player is. Entry level players will often utilize "box" variety Chardonnay, thereby relegating themselves to subhuman/neanderthal status. Some players have been known to utilize a crude and disgusting horse piss swill known as 2 buck chuck for their proceedings. This is common among Cro Mag project executives and pre-construction managers in Southern California.
Jacko - I've been training big time for the Chardonnay Pong tournament at Snowbird next month. I'm gonna beat all a yous like rented mules.
Oldog - Right on Jacko, have you been hitting that case of Mondavi Private Reserve I gave you for Xmas?
Jacko - No Oldog, I prefer the 2 buck chuck - mmm good! Pour me another boot Charty.

When you've had Chardonnay and nothing else for dinner the previous evening, and you feel like you have Parkinson's instead of a hangover.
(bring cup of coffee to the table) "Dude, you've got really shaky hands today, you ok?"
"Yeah, just the Chardonnay Shakes"
"Yeah, just the Chardonnay Shakes"

Upon receiving anal penetration followed by internal ejaculation (see anal creampie), the bitch proceeds to shart the jizz into a wine glass and consume the resulting cocktail.
