Viognier

[Innkeeper]

Took an inventory of our white wines the other day to be sure nothing was getting too old. Everything was '00 or later except one bottle of '98 GDB Viognier. That concerned me a little. Today we are on tap to go to a church dinner tonight that will not feature any wine. So this afternoon we had the afore mentioned crackers and cheese with the '98 Viognier.

It was not as floral on the nose as it might have been a year or two ago. But, it was still very nice and enjoyable. This tells me that you do not need oak in viognier to preserve it a little past its expected lifetime.
