Pepperwood Grove - Viognier
Producer: Pepperwood Grove
Varietal: Viognier
Vintage: 2007
Region: California, United States
Price: ~ $30/bottle (in a restaurant)
For my step-father's birthday we went to this little East Indian restaurant for his birthday called Moti Mahal. Cute little place that was fairly steady even for a Sunday night at eight o'clock. Kinda thought it would be nice to have a cool white wine to edge some of the bite off from the spicy food. The nose on this viognier was fairly crisp and refreshing with a bit of peppery spice. It had a light body with tastes of apricots, pepper and even cloves to tie the indian food together. I'm guessing that at $30 per bottle at a restaurant this wouldn't cost a whole lot at retail. It wasn't a complex wine but when you're searching for decent wine without spending too much you're looking for balance more than complexity.
Okay, peace ooouuut...
PS: I'm having some wicked Indian burps... Indian "dot"; not Indian "feather"
