Winemaker’s notes

Pronounced (vee-own-yay), this aromatic white
wine is filled with classic aromas of peach and
honeysuckle with a long, lingering mouth feel
complemented by citrus flavors. Bright fruit is
well-balanced with crispness that leads to a
delightful, refreshing finish offering a great alternative
to Chardonnay. This Viognier’s unique balance
of fruit and acidity make it ideal for diverse
spring and summertime food combinations.

Food Pairings:
Excellent with Jerked Seafood, Sushi, Salt Baked
Shrimp and Grilled Peaches & Pears.

I had never before tried a Viognier. I did some reasearch and found that this particular variety isn’t particularlly popular, and I can see why. It was fruity, but not really sweet (which is good - I do not like sweet wines). I tasted peachiness. The wine actually paired quite well with the spicy sushi roll I had, I would try this wine again with spicy thai food - I think that would be a good fit.

My friend Larissa and her husband Matt welcomed a baby boy into their family about a month ago. His name is Antonio Vincent and he is a cutie. Antonio has 2 older sisters who are happy to help take care of their little brother. Last Saturday I got to see him for the first time at his baby shower.

Lolcats make me laugh (obviously), but I found this one especially funny, probably because it hits close to home - the kitty looks a lot like our Pepper, and rum tends to disappear in our house.
