Immediately pour the hot, reduced wine over the chopped shallots and lemon zest in a medium-sized bowl. Let sit together and cool to room temperature (or place in refrigerator to speed up process). Remove the tarragon stems and discard. Whisk in the lemon juice and rice vinegar. Continue whisking, drizzling in the olive oil, tasting as you go. Season with salt and pepper as needed, and add a bit more lemon juice or rice vinegar if more acidity is desired.
