(Sonoma County) As Viognier gains more popularity, I love seeing when US winemakers take leads from the Rhone area in France, where this originally hails. Tropical fruit, mango, guava and melon, all very rich and succulent combine with a floral nose to create a very lovely wine drinking experience. Pair this with heavier food - the wine will hold up to it! It is especially good with Pork Tenderloin and Apricot Glaze. Noelle Starr, Wine Consultant
