Viognier?

Week 3: Angove Family Winemakers Nine Vines Viognier.

Neither of us have ever even heard of this grape before, but it had a nice Wine Spectator rating (89) and a great price ($8).

Mel: It's good, it's dry. Really easy to drink, tastes like water. It hits you fast; I'm sweating, and I keep talking, just like I did in college. Rating: 4 grapes out of 5.

Jay: Light and crisp, but really holding up well with our meal (pasta with garlic sauce and veggies). Negative = screw of top... meh, a non-issue for sure, but it takes some of the fun out of drinking a bottle of wine. I'd have no problem drinking this one again, especially for that price. Rating: 4 grapes out of 5.
