CALLING ALL VIOGNIER LOVERS!

Join FUQUA Winery 

Wednesday Feb, 8 at 7:00pm for a 

Viognier Blind Tasting

 

Viognier seemed literally an endangered variety only a few years ago, but seems to be recovering worldwide in both popularity and acreage. Less than 35 acres remained planted in all of France, its homeland, in the late 1960s. Its newest realm, California, has 2,001 acres as of 2002 and there are also relatively new plantings in Australia and Brazil, as well as other U.S. plantings in Colorado, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.

This tasting is a great opportunity for both Viognier virtuosos and novices. Not only will you learn about this variety, locations it is grown and its flavor profiles, but also you will judge at least 10 Viogniers to determine which Viognier reigns supreme. 

With knowledge shared by award-winning winemakers Lee Fuqua and Courtney Key this blind tasting is sure to tickle your taste buds and provide all the information you ever wanted to know about Viognier!

When: 7:00pm, Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012

Where: FUQUA Winery  

Cost: $20 per person
