Chardonnay taste off:

Toasted Head
Rodney Strong Sonoma Valley
Fat Bastard
Gretzky 99

The Coles notes:
Rodney Strong was the overall best selected by 3 of 4 tasters.
Toasted Head was a close second, not quite as smooth a finish, but more bold flavours.
Neither the Fat bastard nor the Gretzky impressed any of our 4 tasters.

All tasting was done blind but scores and impressions were compiled together as a group rather than individual rankings summed at the end.
Prices on these wines ranged from $16-$24 Cdn though i do not know the price of the Gretzky.

I'm still working on digesting the 5 pounds of butter dill and anchovy paste crusted salmon that went with it all.
