|

| Personal Notes |
Sipping this wine after a tempranillo hiatus, I'm reminded why I like tempranillo. An excellent value at $11. |

|
|
||
| Personal Notes |
A completely forgettable white, but it's only $4 at Trader Joe's, so it's also completely gulp-able. It's apparently a non-vintage wine (no year stated on bottle). Must have some Sauvignon Blanc in it. |

A decent - but forgettable - Viognier. Lots of alcohol at 14.5%. |

| Personal Notes |
Great value. Found for $10 at Schneiders in Capitol Hill. Called back to reserve a few more bottles. Medium to heavy body with a pleasant peppery-ness. |

|

| Personal Notes |
Okay viognier for the price. Kind of astringent at times, though might've been served too cold. |

Went great with some grilled steaks. Would give 3.5 stars if I could. |

A forgettable wine. Recommended by De Vinos. Nice store, but have now sworn off any recommendation from there. |

Had this wine a couple weeks back and now can't remember what I thought of it. |

| Oct. 19, 2006 | Kumkani Viognier 2004 2004 |
|
|
||
| Personal Notes |
A little better than the White Hall Viognier, but still not a winner, and not worth the $14 in my book. I am intrigued by this varietal, though, esp. for fall. |

|

| Personal Notes |
Winesmith really enjoyed this wine. Have to take it slow, though. Fruit, followed by creamy finish with some nuttiness. |

A very enjoyable wine that is just past its prime. Drink immediately, but only at discounted prices. |
