Shameless Hussy Viognier

Shameless Hussy Viognier Wine Details
Price: $15.00 per bottle

Description: There she is, all glammed up, wearing inappropriate clothing like a low-cut leopard print dress. She's hitting shamelessley on every red-wine drinker in the house like the unsuspecting attorney who had walked in to this low-lit establishment. Batting her false eyelashes, she's irresistable. He hopes she is going to deliver what she promises. Slightly sweet and cloying, great at parties.. this viognier deserves a try.

Varietal Definition
Viognier:
The most acclaimed white wine grape from France's Rhône Valley, Viognier is a highly aromatic varietal, with a flavor profile that could include peach, apricot, nectarine, lichee, musk and flower blossom. The heady perfume of this varietal is one of its trademarks, although its flavors are sometimes problematic in matching with food. However, it does well with lobster, crab and moderately flavored fish. Use it as an apéritif as an alternative to Chardonnay. The "Rhône Rangers" in California have done an excellent job promoting this varietal.
