    Oh work. I sit here in my office and pine away whilst looking out my window wishing I were elsewhere.

    … should I skip out of work early to break into the half case I had shipped from CA?

    Love the Viognier, GV! You gotta wonder how it is so closely related to Nebbiolo, yet so disparate in the final product. I guess it’s one of those crazy things, like crossing Cab Franc and Sauv Blanc….must be the geneticist in me talking…Have a good weekend!

  • mczinger

    Wine lush, I feel your pain. I’m stuck in the office for I don’t know how much longer. And to think, a week ago I was in CA with my entire wine-cellar at my finger tips.

    Anyone have any good NYC after-work wine-bar suggestions?

    QFGV: After a long day in the office, what do you drink to relax?

    (BTW GV still has yet to answer a QFGV)

  • Have you tried the Alban Viognier? He’s also doing a Rousanne and some other lesser-known varietals. They have it at my local wine shop but it’s $50+ per bottle which is on the high-end I’d say for this varietal. Oh yeah, and it was March 31st, 1985 my friend. I watched that match live from a satellite feed. We were in Los Angeles, maybe it was at The Forum at the time?

    QFGV, part deux: Since when have you been sportin’ the Cartier watch?

  • Great V episode, V.

    This weekend, just spending a quiet time before my two-week obsession with Wimbledon begins on Monday.

    What’s up with the hairdo? 2 great Vs at a good price that’s good news.
    Playing Golf…what else?

  • spautz

    I suppose I ought to post a real comment now. 😉
    I haven’t had much Viognier, but the few I have had have been excellent. My absolute favorite was very dry yet rich, almost like an Alsacian Riesling (but better than any I’ve been able to afford). In a recent drive through North Carolina, though, I had a late-harvest Viognier which was *completely* different yet also excellent. Is Viognier normally such a varied and versatile grape, or does it tends towards a particular style?

    QOTD: This weekend I’m hosting a wine tasting: “Crisp Summertime Whites”. =) I’m also hoping to finish writing my Master’s thesis and (hopefully) play some disc golf.

    Lllllllove viognier! I’m so glad to see you devote an episode to this. We’re seeing lots of viogniers out here in Washington, more than I see chardonnays, which makes me very happy.

    QOTD: Let’s see… going to the farmer’s market, doing chores around the house, and working on our wedding invitations. I think that’s about it. I lead a terribly exciting life. 😉

    Just missed it, March 31, 1985 at Madison Sq Garden.

    Love the “V” especially Horton from podunk Virginia.

    QOTD: I started it by taking off today to go fishing but I was dissed so that leaves me to sit at the pool, watch the ladies and begin tasting some nice Italian whites. Since the weather should be gorgeous here in DC, I plan on playing some tennis, cooking on the grille and more wine.

    TGIF

    Cheers

    QOTD
    Tonight, dinner (Celeste) and a movie (sicko).
    Saturday, having a little dinner party. Will select the wine based on what Suerad decides to make.
    Sunday, maybe kayaking on the Hudson, Turkish kabobs for dinner.
