viognier, a white wine
13.5%
a white wine with a thick, viscous body, finally! it's got a hit of tannins buffered with a layer of peach nectar. according to the lable it goes well with shellfish and asian style food, i believe it. as it was, i was tossing the wine around with bites of liver pate and foil-wrapped triangle cheeses, not a great match. the pate fought with the heavy meloniness, and the cheese brought out the acidity like a 35 year old man in a cheap pizza shop. this wine is lovely as a snack on it's own, and sipping it looks classy to a set of teetotalling parents. a bottle of friday night in your purse!
$9.99
three and a half stars
