Dang! I would've loved to join you but I'll be on a camping trip.

Also, I'm raising my eyebrow several mm at the Tarlant being classified as chard-driven as I believe it's half pinot noir. I haven't had it in years though. Do you feel that the chardonnay is clearly in the lead?

Slaton, I thought the Louis was 60/40 Chard, but your post prompted me to check and this release is 50/50. So one Chard dominant and one to-be-determined in the glass!
