Please join us for a tasting of the finest Viogniers of the world here at Rappahannock Cellars. A “production” tasting is one in which your own wines are put up against benchmark wines for the purpose refining your house style. This year I have selected four foreign wines that I will pit against my 2007 and 2008 Rappahannock Cellars Viognier. These are no ordinary wines, these Viogniers come from the most highly regarded producers in the world. Here’s the lineup:
- Château Grillet 2006 – France / Côtes du Rhône / Appellation Château-Grillet Contrôlée
- Andre Perret Condrieu Coteau du Chery 2007 – France / Côtes du Rhône / Appellation Condrieu Contrôlée / Chery
- E. Guigal Condrieu La Doriane 2007 – France / Côtes du Rhône / Appellation Condrieu Contrôlée
- Yalumba Viognier Eden Valley 2008 – Australia / Eden Valley
- Rappahannock Cellars Viognier 2007 - Virginia
- Rappahannock Cellars Viognier 2008 – Virginia
This will be a blind tasting with the producers revealed after the wines are tasted. Two ounce (59 mL) pours per wine. Water and crackers served.
