Hey Melissa-I actually favor the ones from CA, leaning more towards the unoaked ones.

Thanks for stopping by Paula. I’m not sure if that’s typical or not….I just drank one last week that came in at 13.5%, so I guess it varies.

No problem Jeff!

Thanks for the nice review of the Viognier!

Found it via WineforNewbies. I love Viognier a lot too (but not trying to type or spell it). I never did a comparison of areas like this. One thing I noticed in your reviews is that both were a fairly higher ABV for a white. I never bothered to look on mine (though I am tempted to crawl in the closet & dig one out)… is that typical of the varietal?

Fermentation was in stainless steel, and the wine was aged sur lie for two months (this last probably accounts for the toast notes).
