Viognier for A Long Week

It’s been a long week. It’s snowing. We sure are staying in tonight, and you deserve to spend your Friday night recharging on the couch too. We love to pair a night in with a plush and balanced white, such as Miner Family Vineyards Viognier ($25). We swear the first sip alone has the same effect as a deep tissue massage and will just make you go “ahh” as you settle deeper into the couch – apricot, honeysuckle, and pear fruits dominate, but are balanced out with a citrus punch. 

Viognier (pronounced Vee-own-yay) originated in France’s Northern Rhone region, and California has since become a leading producer of the grape. If you like the full-body feel of Chardonnay, you’ll like Viognier. Look for this or something similar based on these characteristics and let us know what you think!
