Monthly WTF wine group tasting. This month’s theme was chardonnay from any region or vintage. Nice eclectic bunch! All wines tasted blind.

Ripping acid, even with 7yrs on it! Pure Meyer lemon upfront with added notes of honeysuckle, chamomile and underripe citrus. On the palate it was limestone and mineral driven. Slightly reductive. I called this Chablis. Nice imitator. Thanks @Jack Thompson .

Lovely wet stone, white currents, soft yet racy. Out of magnum.

There are not many people making a better Chardonnay in California right now. Not many at all. What's better than finding Burgundy in Cali? Finding Cali in Cali.

By far one of my favorite sites for Chardonnay. Minerality, Acid for days.

Chalone. Still plenty of malic left, but will age gracefully. Could easily guess old world.

Melon and green apple. Light and inviting. The acidity on the wine is almost perfect.
