    I had an interesting viognier last week, Zaca Mesa 2006 from the Santa Ynez Valley. Fifteen bones, 92 rating from Connoiseurs Guide. Had it with steamed musssels and it rocked. Solid 90 for me.

    QOTD- Smurfs? Seriously, what do I know from smurfs??? Uh–OK, they’re blue. I don’t know, was Smurfette hot?

    QOTD: Um, when I was in college, we had a 36″ water pipe (used for tobacco only…) which was blue, and we named smurfette. Guess that makes her my favorite.

    I had a french viognier with dinner Maurel-Vedeau, les cepages (negociants). Golden color. The nose reminded me of wines from Alsace. It was pretty good at a pretty good price which I can’t recall exactly ($10-$15). The sweetest Viognier I’ve had was the Cono Sur from Chile. Eww. It was so sweet I thought it gave me instant cavities. The southern france bottle today was pleasant, 100% more enjoyable than the Cono Sur. I’d probably buy it again.

    Viognier is one of my favorite wines. My daughter was a “Smurfy” at Club Med — clearly my favorite. I hope to see you at the NJ book signing.
