Another treat from our Bring Your Own Lobster dinner party: K Viognier. Even the cats know it's a good choice. PS: This photos was NOT staged, thank you very much.THE STATS:
Vineyard: K Viognier
Vintage: 2007
Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
Kind: White
Varietal: Viognier 100%Web site: KVintners.com
Price: 26.99 at Crush Wine Cellar, their website lists it at $20, but also says it is sold out.
THE BOUQUET:
Now this is a wine close to my heart. This is one of the reasons I fell in love with Viognier and continue to have an on-again off-again affair with this varietal. Playfully sassy aromas of tropical fruit within a backdrop of sweet vanilla and a flutter of lemongrass.
THE PALETTE:
Light and fun on the tongue the citrus takes the drivers seat on the palette. It finishes with a lovely vanilla note. Not to heavy and not too light Viognier continues to be the "anti-Chardonnay" for me.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Throw your own BYOL party. Or try ...Halibut or cod (fish and chips, really!) King crab or think light pasta with butter or olive oil.
As a designer, Annette loves this label.
