Pretty Darn Skippy: in the mood for legit Viognier after tasting so many imposters - can’t afford (or find) Condrieu so I stumbled across this effort from 3 masters of the varietal: pale yellow with vivid floral nose, peach and a hint of mineral, medium bodied, oily suave textured, but still with great acidic structure carrying flavors thru to a fairly long finish. Played well with smoked salmon & some briny appetizers, soft & hard cheeses
