Never a favourite of mine this stuff.

However beset by budget constraints I acquiesced to an in store discount and bought a bottle from Chile .

Not quite as suitable as a quality Riesling or Gewürztraminer but still acceptable-flavour a tad raisiny but not overly so-one could do worse certainly.

I like a good Riesling and a good Gewurztraminer. The description of the Viognier makes it sound really good. Did you taste the peach flavor in it?

No Peaches were detected.

Hmmmm, I hate false advertising, especially with a wine. I think I'll have to pass on trying that one.

I like Viognier. Most Riesling & some Gewurtz are too sweet for me. There are some terrific local Viogniers. This one is very good for everyday--and often sells for less than US $10. The 2009 is what I'm finding in markets right now.

I like my wines on the sweet side. Atlhough I do like some fairly dry wines. My husband can't stand any wine that's not ultra sweet. Unless it's a really, really good wine but since we can't afford them these days. His favorite is Moscato.

I like Viognier as well. It's big in Virginia.
This one is good, but I doubt it's readily available outside the state.

Most Riesling & some Gewurtz are too sweet for me.

Aim for those from Alsace. A little pricier, but almost uniformly dry.

Britain is awash with Cono Sur wines for GBP5 - they are the best of the cheap wines.
