Served this evening (or is it actually still the afternoon), as an apertif.

Wine: 2004 Alexandria Nicole Columbia Valley Reserve Viognier
Price: 22.00

This wine was straw/golden in color, clear with medium intensity. Aromas of pear and white peach, with a little mineral and floral notes. Plenty of acidity screams tart apple, but notes of ripe pear linger on the tongue which lead to a moderate finish.
