Introduction
Treated all the wines except the Domaine Serene that Jason brought. My wife was out of town so I provided the wines and the guests brought the food. All the wines showed well but the Guigal is a bit much for the quality.
2017 Tyler Chardonnay Dierberg Vineyard 94 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Barbara County
Day 1: Well drink now but still tasty. Lemon, spice, stone, orchard fruit and dust. Nice acidity. Drink within the next year. 92 points
Day 3: Another well made Chardonnay that improved over 3 days. Amazing rewards for those who are patient. Orchard fruit, spice, lemon, lime, saline, minerals, stone, dust and a touch of wood. Medium plus finish and delicious. Rivals anything under $50 in the US Chardonnay market. 94 points
Recommendation: Well you can drink now but after seeing improvement on day 3 no hurries.

2013 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie La Mouline 93 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Côte-Rôtie
Natural cork. Dark fruits, menthol, white pepper, spice, raspberries, earth and cherry. Picks up some smoked meats on the medium plus finish. Probably would recommend holding these for 5 plus years as while I liked the wine it certainly was expensive for the return.
