I am such, such a fan of interesting whites...be they steely, fruit bombs, or a mouthful of flowers. I am not so much a fan of the stereotypical California oaked-to-hell Chardonnay. (Although I do enjoy a nice UNoaked Chard!).
On the "interesting white" front...Clay Station 2005 Viognier. Another Trader Joe bottle ($8.99) and a mouthful of flowers. But in a good way.
Here's the tasting notes from the bottle:
An elegant aromatic wine that pairs well with many including scallops, pasta with pesto and Szechwan green beans. Our Viognier displays notes of honeysuckle, jasmine and orange blossom layered with juicy guava and peach character for a refreshing finish that lingers.
Here's my tasting notes:
Like walking into a flower store, but very pleasant. Tropical undertones...maybe some passionfruit? This is a hell of wine, great for sitting on the back patio in the spring with your feet up and the sun on your face.
We had this wine with Coho salmon initally...cooked with soy sauce and a little sugar. It was delicious. A few days later we also had this with a tomato and basil salad. Also a winner.
