My wine firsts abound. As you can see in the picture I’m enchanted. This is hauntingly elegant. Sweet orange, honeysuckle and lemon yogurt meet in the ring. Spoiler alert there will be no victor as all agree to play peacefully and take turns sparring with my taste buds. There is enough acid in this to keep everything on its toes. — a day ago

2016 Cuilleron Viognier “Les Vignes d’a Cote”. Denny Zeitlin’s piano playing is top notch and is a lovely way to wind down the day with this wine. — 9 days ago

Continuing my journey through TX wines...@Mark Flesher and I compared some ‘16 TX viogniers, and it was a treat to see the differences.

At pop and pour, this was a 9.0...with more time open, his hit 9.2-9.3! What an awesome take on Viognier. At its best, the nose was full of smoky rich notes, and the palate had nice acidity that was mainly lime, crushed rock, and a great oily texture. Very nice @Ron Yates ! Just noticed that @Shawn R and I scored this the same...I totally get the marshmallow note, Shawn! — 13 days ago

Vintage 2016 - Cuvée #viognier de Fontgaline, Made of the best plots, 6 months Allier barrel aging, #paysdoc. Refined smell of apricots. Juicy. It’s a simple but delicious wine. Partnered it with vegetables in aspic and fresh capuchins with pork in soy sauce. — 19 days ago

Continuing my journey through TX wines...@Mark Flesher and I compared some ‘16 TX viogniers, and it was a treat to see the differences.

This Viognier had a lot of typical notes that I expected, especially on the nose, like mint and white flower. Acidity was medium. Palate was sharp, lemon-lime dominant, with a soft honeyed finish. The nose on this was killer. Nice wine @Mark Flesher ! — 13 days ago

Big wafting nose. Honeysuckle, guava, even some plantains. Mineral with some granite as well peeking through and way way floral. Almost a floral paste. Hint of wood. So killer. So pure. Sick classic Billon Condrieu nose. Palate is classic Billon and not gloppy and floppy but has energy and intensity while also showcasing the exotic side of Condrieu. Shows amazing persistence and great dramatic minerals on the finish. Excellent. — 15 days ago

Typical clean clear and slightly golden color the nose is more savory than fruit or floral driven. A note of preserved lemon, white pepper and mango linger. On the mouth a wave of acidity carry lemongrass, citrus, white peach and minerals. Finish is medium in length with a hint of wet stone. — 7 days ago
