https://yourartbeat.net/2025/03/11/lzjfvsey Continuing to celebrate Virginia Wine and Dine month, on Friday we enjoyed two Virginia white wines.

https://www.plantillaslago.com/c6l39hj08t4 We began the evening with the 2010 Viognier from Chrysalis Vineyards. We enjoyed it with a creamy goat cheese and soft baguette. We noted pear, mango, and floral notes on the nose. On the tongue we noticed tropical fruit…mango, pineapple, and pear flavors with a hint of oak at the end. It paired nicely with our cheese and baguette. https://ottawaphotographer.com/ktqb5t21n4a https://hazenfoundation.org/lksrril For dinner we had pan seared, lightly breaded fluke flounder with capers and a side of pasta. Warren selected the 2010 Viognier from King Family for the meal and to do a little side by side comparison. We noted honeysuckle, citrus, and shale on the nose. In the mouth we noted subtle peach, stone fruit, and a soft vanilla finish. Warren preferred it a bit warmer while I enjoyed it quite chilled. https://ballymenachamber.co.uk/?p=kz7xkgs https://www.andrewlhicksjrfoundation.org/uncategorized/a5ziv8sz7w2 Enjoying these two different viogniers side by side gave us a good look at different viogniers from different parts of the state. Warren preferred the 2010 Viognier from King Family while I enjoyed the 2010 Viognier from Chrysalis Vineyards. Have you had a Virginia viognier lately? If you try one of these, or visit the wineries, tell them Virginia Wine Time sent you!
