Let's face it - there are a LOT of wine options in the area ranging from some of the best the world…read morehas to offer (LITERALLY) to just plain bad. Tyler X Lieu Dit is neither of those things. Before we get to the wine itself, let's go over something good, and something not so good... The good: The ambiance. It's nice and relaxing in here. The bad: They charge $35 for a tasting, and give the teeniest-tiniest tasting I've ever experienced. Stingy AF. The pourer seemed really nice too... I was so surprised with the pour sizes. And (not to toot my own horn) I'm not a wine novice. We've done a LOT of tasting - and I've never come across such stingy pours. They even knew that my wife and I got one of each of their tastings so we could share and try all the wines... and just no love on the pour side. So $70 for a pair of really weak tasting. Now the wine itself... Meh... The 2019 Lieu Dit Chenin Blanc was just bad... there were three stand-outs and the rest weren't bad, but also nothing to write home about. The three stands outs were the Tyler Chardonnay which came far from knocking our socks off, but was good stuff. And the two killer bottles were the Tyler Pinot Noir, Nentrock Vineyard (not the Estate - which was actually pretty good. Again... good quality, but nothing to write home about) and the Tyler Cabernet Sauvignon. Those two bottle were fantastic! The bummer is, they're just not worth the price point. Those two bottles are $85 and $70 respectively. They were great... but not $85 great. Just a bummer the price point didn't match the wine. If they were a $45 bottle, we would have left with both of them I think. We were also kind of bummed because we have been in a big Cab Fran phases lately, and they have two types, and neither were very good. One better than the other... but just not in the same ballpark as the Cab Franc's we've had lately (like at Andrew Murray, Carhartt, Holus Bolus etc.). In closing, if you don't have much time in Santa Barbara, I wouldn't slot this into your itinerary... but if you live in town and want to try something different, definitely check it out. Maybe get a glass of the Netcok Vineyard Pinot or the Cab and enjoy the atmosphere. Again... this isn't BAD wine by any stretch. It's good (mostly)... It's just in a an ultra competitive region and the price point is super high for what it is.
