Viognier has had a complicated past and at one point was almost extinct. Spread by the Romans and cultivated by the French it could have been lost to history. Now being planted around the world, Viognier has had a modest resurgence helped by the famed Condrieiu and a little-known but secretly famed monopole. 

We talk about history and our experience with the variety. 

Don't shy away from a Rhone White and find one to sip on your own. Join us in an exploration of this aromatic white wine and just how good it can be with food, or on its own. Cheers!
