Future fad or popular wines

[Caesar]

Let's see....
getting out the crystal ball...
peering into it importantly...
AHA!!!!!

My choice may not be the NEXT "fad" wine, but I do think it's time is coming. I'm the Maitre d' of a resort here in NC, and I deal a lot with wine wholesaleers and distributors. More and more I am seeing Viognier in their books produced somewhere besides the Rhone Valley. California and Australia, especially. I've always thought that all it takes is great marketing personnel to make anything a fad to the broad market, and I'm curious to see whose prediction will come out...

anyone care to wager a bottle??(a virtual bottle, of course)
