Great point about Viognier, though I have a feeling its time will come. <br /><br />Keep up the great work!<br />Beltway Bacchushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00219844790060861219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254882706567545021.post-69734660801255937862013-02-18T12:26:43.112-05:002013-02-18T12:26:43.112-05:00Thanks for showcasing us in the article.

Looking at history once it happens then there seems to be grwoth to follow so I look forward to seeing the next couple years. Just an FYI as well, you did miss one of the 90's. There were 7 of them. Our CasaNoVA also got one.<br /><br />It is also interesting about Viognier and how really it has struggled in all accounts of the media in garnering the same accolades as Red blends in particular but also Chardonnay. I think it is partially due to the fickle nature of Viognier and that as a whole Viognier does not perform as well as Chardonnay world wide as far as percentage of them showing well. Viognier as a variety has never reached the heights of Chardonnay, Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc with media attention and accolades. We did have our two Viognier dominated Single Vineyard blends get 88 with W.E. though which is a step in that direction I hope.<br /><br />Jordan Harris - Tarara WineryViognier Nevaeh aka Tarara Viggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995575678354827524noreply@blogger.com
